Course Objectives:
Basin analysis demands an integrated approach from explorationist. The objective of the course is to provide the theory, methods, and practice for participants to develop and optimize their own individual basin evaluation and modelling.

Who Should Attend?
Geoscientists who require a practical familiarity with the application of a variety of state-of-the-art conventional and unconventional tools of hydrocarbon evaluation to sedimentary basins.

Prerequisite Courses
None
