Petroleum Geology of Southeast Asia

Industry’s one of its kind—this program provides an extensive coverage of Southeast Asian regional geological evolution, its petroleum geology, and the exploration history of major hydrocarbon basins, including exploration hotspots that may emerge in the future.

This program has been an industry staple for explorationists who are working in the region. Ian Longley has presented the Petroleum Geology of SE Asia course now for more than a decade since taking over from his predecessor Dick Murphy, who presented the course since 1985.

Wide Coverage of SE Asia’s Hydrocarbon Basins
This course has a long pedigree of providing a large amount of data of regional hydrocarbon basins essential for those who are working and who are planning to work in the region.

Includes Examples and Practical Exercises
The course will provide analyses models, including tectonic history, stratigraphic patterns, trap styles, and hydrocarbon charge for basins such asSumatra, Java, Sunda Rifts, South China Sea, Borneo Delta Sags, etc. Attendees will also work on seismic exercises.

This program will provide attendees a comprehensive knowledge of the regional basins to complement their skills in basin analysis and play generation.
