Training Course

Sedimentary Organic Matter - Principles and Applications to Hydrocarbon Geology

  
     
     
   
  
     
     
  Lecturer
Dr. Hartmut Jäger, GeoResources and University of Heidelberg

Who should attend
Introductory to intermediate course in palynofacies and organofacies for geologists, geophysicists and engineers. General principles of palynology, facies analysis, sequence stratigraphy and hydrocarbon generation are briefly introduced and repeated in the course. No prior experience in palynology, sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy and organic maturation is required. Basic knowledge in palaeontology, facies analysis and hydrocarbon generation is useful. The course includes practical exercises in palynofacies and organofacies analysis. The course language is English or German.

Fees
Depending on course location and number of participants. Please contact courses@georesources.de for a specific offer.

Location
Inhouse-course, GeoResources, Heidelberg or at specific location requested by client. Professional microscope facilities are required for excercises.

Attendees
Inhouse course: min. 5, max. 12. At client´s location: min. 5, max. 20 (depending on microscope facilities).

Dates
Dates will be fixed according to client´s need.
