Petroleum Geology

Course outcomes:

a. Knowledge and Understanding:

1-	Classify the different source rocks, kerogens, and reservoir rocks in sedimentary basins with shading light on Egypt examples.
2-	Characterize the properties of reservoir rock and its fluid in hydrocarbon-bearing Formation.
3-	Describe the geological anomalies and oil and gas traps and accumulations.
4-	List the basic tools used in petroleum exploration and their methodology; Geophysical tools (Seismic, Gravity, and Magnetic), and Geochemical tools.
5-	Describe the basic types of Unconventional petroleum resources.

b. Intellectual Skills:
