| Recommended semester: 4th -7th semester |
| Scope and form: Fieldwork course: interpretation of field data |
Evaluation: Approval of exercises and reports
Assessment of field work and report (13-scale) |
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Previous course: 56421 |
| Participant limitation: Max. 18 |
| Aim: To provide the student with the skills to collect and analyze geological data for 3-D reconstructions (geometry, architecture, heterogeneity) of reservoirs and their seals (and trap configurations), to assess the significance of geological data for engineering applications, to interpret subsurface data in 3-D models and to reconstruct and interpret the sedimentary fill of a basin |
| Contents: Geological mapping (are of about 3 by 3 km), preparation of the lithostratigraphy by reconstructing the succession of sediments, analysis of depositional sequences (identification of bounding surfaces), sedimentology (interpretation of sedimentary facies), structural geological analysis (mapping of faults, folds and thrusts, identification of tectonic phases, 3-D reconstruction of geological structures), basin analysis (the reconstruction of the basin history), reservoir (aquifer) and trap characterization and source rock identification |
| Remarks: The field work takes place in Spain. Costs are about 1800 DKr |
