Develop measurable skills and capabilities
This class has been designed to familiarize class participants with the fundamentals of Structural Geology, as used and required in and for the Oil & Gas Industry.
Structural Geology is defined as “The discipline within the science of Geology that relates to rock unit geometry and the deformational histories that produced those geometries.”
This class is structured with regard to scale considerations of the various elements of structural geology – small to large. The initial portions of this course will investigate rock deformation factors at the microscopic scale. Next meso-scale structures will be discussed and then, finally, large scale (tectonic) elements will be examined.
The class contains a significant practical element, with exercises and tests designed to improve the understanding of how to apply Structural Geology in Petroleum-related applications. The course also contains video and case histories.
