GeoE 2570 - Sedimentology and Petroleum Geology
Designation: Required (Petroleum Engineering) Course (Catalog) Description: GeoE 2570 - Sedimentology and Petroleum Geology, 3 credits (Hrs: 3 Lec.) A study of sedimentology and stratigraphy in the context of petroleum geology. This survey emphasizes the factors controlling composition, characteristics, and geographic and stratigraphic distribution of sedimentary rocks. Basic methods of studying rocks in the subsurface are introduced. Prerequisites: GeoE 1010 (Physical Geology) or equivalent. Text: Petroleum Geoscience, Jon Gluyas and Richard Swarbrick, 2004, Blackwell Publishing, 359 p. Course Objectives: To create an understanding of origin sedimentary rocks and how they are related to the origin, migration, and trapping of hydrocarbons. To provide an introduction to the study of sedimentary basins and the tectonics that control sedimentary basins, the means for studying these basins, and their relation to hydrocarbon discovery and production. Course Outcomes: Graduates will be able to:
Topics Covered: Characteristics of sediment and its distribution and transport. Major parameters controlling sedimentation and the formation of clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical and geochemical processes. Carbonates and other biogenic rocks Chemical rocks Stratigraphy, seismic stratigraphy, and basin analysis.
Course Schedule: Three one-hour lectures each week during the spring semester. Contribution to Professional Component: Basic Science - 3 Credits or 100% Relationship of Course to Petroleum Engineering Program Outcomes: Characterization and evaluation of subsurface geological formations using geoscientific and engineering methods.

Designation: Required Course (Catalog) Description: GeoE 3020 Stratigraphy 3 Credits (Hrs: 3 Lec.) The study of the origin, sequence, and spatial relations of sedimentary rocks emphasizing depositional processes and environments. Past and current philosophical concepts of correlation and controls governing the distribution of rock sequences are covered to show the relation of local studies to a larger framework. Both ancient and modern deposits are used as examples. Prerequisites: GeoE 2020 (Historical Geology) and GeoE 2040 (Mineralogy and Petrology) Textbook: Sedimentary Geology, 1996, Prothero, Donald R. and Fred Swchab, W. H. Freeman & Co., N.Y., 575 p. Course Objectives: The course is designed to give graduates basic knowledge on how to study and interpret sedimentary rocks and integrate this information into re-constructions of geologic history. Course Outcomes: Graduates will be able to: 1. Use maps, aerial photographs, and other forms of remote sensing to derive information about the stratigraphy and structure of an area.
Topics Covered: Geologic time and its determination. Distinctive features of sedimentary rocks and their importance to the interpretation of sedimentary rocks. The depositional environments in which sedimentary rocks form and the genetic associations of these environments. Methods of studying sedimentary rocks on the surface and in the subsurface. Basins in which sedimentary rocks form. Course Schedule: Three one-hour lectures each week during the spring semester. Contribution to Professional Component: Basic Science: 3 Credits or 100% Relationship of Course to Geological Engineering Program Outcomes: Covers the origin and distribution of sedimentary rocks and the geological processes that affect sedimentary rocks. |
