Indeed\, geochemistry has long been considered as a major contributor to oil and gas exploration and deserves to be admitted as the third “G” along with geology and geophysics (G & G). This course provides attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the chemical and geological processes involved in the formation\, migration\, and alteration of petroleum hydrocarbons. Throughout the course\, attendees will explore topics such as organic matter preservation\, source rock evaluation\, thermal maturation\, petroleum generation and migration\, and hydrocarbons alteration processes. By studying various geochemical parameters and analytical techniques\, attendees will develop their skills necessary to assess hydrocarbon potential\, evaluate source rock (quantity\, quality\, and thermal maturity)\, know the basic assessment of unconventional shale reservoirs\, and make informed decisions in the exploration of oil and gas resources. Moreover\, the course provides basic information about the application of lipid biomarkers (geochemical fossils) as source-related and maturity-related proxies. These organic compounds are valuable proxies in oil-oil and oil-source rock correlations. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications and data interpretation training. At the end of this course\, attendees will be able to interpret geochemical data sets to unravel the geological history of a petroleum system and understand the relationship between geochemistry and other disciplines such as basin modeling analysis. \n \nCourse Objectives\n To gain  knowledge and  better  understanding  in  the following  areas:  \n\nFundamentals of organic geochemistry.\nFavorable conditions for organic matter productivity\, preservation\, and accumulation.\nFactors controlling organic richness of a source rock.\nSource rock evaluation (quantity\, quality\, and thermal maturity)\, employing techniques such as LECO TOC\, Rock-Eval pyrolysis\, and Py-GC\, and their interpretation.\nAdvanced geochemical analyses (GC and GC-MS) to investigate lipid biomarkers and their significance.\nOil-Source rock and Oil-Oil correlations.\nOrganic petrographic tools (e.g.\, Vitrinite Reflectance Ro% and visual kerogen analysis)\, and their applications in assessing thermal maturity and kerogen characteristics\, respectively.\nOriginal organic carbon (TOCo) and original kerogen typing (HIo) back-calculations and their importance in assessing the remaining source potential.\n\n \nCourse Content\nPart One: \n\nIntroduction to source rock formation\, organic matter preservation\, accumulation\, depositional control\, and factors controlling organic richness.\nKerogen formation\, source rock evolution\, and petroleum generation.\n\nPart Two: \n\nAssessing organic matter quantity\, quality\, thermal maturity\, and petroleum-generating potential.
