Biomarkers Analysis and Application to E&P

Trusted by Leading Companies

Our training programs are promoted to engineers, supervisors, and technical teams across the globe, supporting their continuous development and operational competency.

About Training

This course is developed to better equipped attendees to interpret biomarker geochemistry data and reports that use such data. They will also be able to make informed decisions relating to the commissioning of sampling/analysis for biomarker data, and understand the questions that biomarker geochemistry can provide answers to.

Using p:IGI-3 Software
This course will provides temporary licenses (on USB sticks) for the p:IGI-3 geochemical interpretation software for use during the course.

Includes Specific and Practical Case Studies
Numerous examples and case histories are included in the course, and it is encouraged for client to consider the inclusion of their own data into the course program lecture.

This program will present a detailed understanding of how to apply biomarkers in petroleum geochemistry, including various challenges in their use, drawing on extensive experience and case studies from around the world, including examples from SE Asia.

Training Objectives

Familiarize with the Types of Data Used
Understand Biomarker Types and Ratios for Interpretation of Oils
Gain Confidence in Biomarker Data Application
Understand, Analyse and Apply Oil Correlations
Learn What Types of Samples and Data would be Most Useful for E&P

Audiences

This training program is developed and designed for Mid to Senior Level explorationists. Some basic experience of petroleum geochemistry would be beneficial Petroleum Geochemists with moderate experience would also benefit from the course.
