Natural Gas Geochemistry 2016 is a course dedicated to the fundamental basis of the different origins of natural gas and the geological controls.
Topics
Recent geochemical and isotopic methods of determining the origin of the gas, its thermal maturity (i.e. temperature of generation), the of mixing of gases from different sources and the origin of inorganic components such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide
The basis of the different origins of natural gas and the geological controls on its formation
Available types of geochemical data for gases and be able to apply these directly to exploration and field development problems
A working knowledge of the increasingly important role of biogenic gases as exploration targets in their own right
