Course Objectives:
The syllabus for Petroleum Exploration should be aimed at the student to have a broad knowledge of exploration history in India. The student should know what are the basic methods which are used in petroleum exploration with special emphasis on gravity/magnetic and more importantly the students should understand in detail about the Seismic methods which are the back bone of the whole gamut of oil exploration.
At the same time sedimentology and biostratigraphy are also important to understand the sedimentary sequences holding hydrocarbons as the knowledge of these will help in the log interpretation also.
Course Outcomes:
The outcome this is to give insight for the student to have a broad-based understanding of the seismic exploration, viz its acquisition methods, processing and interpretation, as they have already had geology in 2nd year course. The knowledge of these methods will go a long way along with the other paper i.e, logging methods for them to opt for upstream industry jobs if they so desire.
