Origin & Evolution of Sedimentary Basins

(5 days)

For: Geologists, engineers, geophysicists and managers

Thorough coverage of how every sedimentary basin got that way. Become a much better oil finder in the great prospective basins on the world. Learn all the driving forces behind plate tectonics along with the thermal and rheological aspects of the lithosphere. You understand subsidence in all its phases and use it to predict a structure. Examine many models and examples and learn similarly the results of stretching and strike slip basins. Discover the significance of thermal history in maturation and entrapment, and study the many examples available in petroleum geology. You carry this on to include details on arc collision and intra-plate basins.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Plate Tectonics and Lithosphere

  • Backstripping and Models of Basin Formation

  • Stretching and Strike Slip Basins

  • Thermal History of Maturation and Entrapment

  • Arc Collision and Intra-Plate Basins
