This course is structured around the principles of geo-mechanics, providing a solid basis for understanding structural geological concepts and seismic interpretation. After an introductory overview of geo-mechanics, the course delves into the primary tectonic regimes and their corresponding structural features, which serve as the core elements of the curriculum. Topics covered include structural concepts, the formation of structures, various structural styles, and different structural geometries specific to each tectonic regime.

To enhance practical learning, the course incorporates exercises and case studies, creating an interactive workshop environment where participants can apply their knowledge in a hands-on manner. This approach ensures an engaging and dynamic learning experience throughout the course.

Course Objectives:

DIFFERENTIATE the structural regimes manifestations, and their key features in 2D or 3D seismic data
UNDERSTAND the basic element of hydrocarbon generation, tectonic regimes, and their significance for petroleum geology
DEDUCE vital stress information from structural geometries
LEARN to quantify stresses in the subsurface and APPLY this to exploration and production of hydrocarbons
LESSEN the uncertainties by reducing the degrees of freedom in geological modeling
UNDERSTAND the benefits and pitfalls of state of the art seismic and image logging techniques
