Learning outcomes
Analyzing - processes of sediment accumulation in final drainage basins, sediment composition, rate of sediment accumulation, peculiarities of distribution in different facies zones; Reconstructing - conditions of sediment accumulation based on structural-textural features and mineral composition of rock formations. Constructing - geological sections through oil and gas-bearing regions indicating the complex of stratigraphic horizons that constitute the sedimentary cover. Predicting - presence of reservoir and cap rocks based on the stratigraphic section of the region.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
- Successful completion of courses in general, historical, and structural geology, fundamentals of mineralogy and petrography (lithology).
- Proficiency in reading geological maps and sections.
Course content
Introduction of students to the theory of sedimentogenesis, describing the formation of sediment material, processes of sediment transport and accumulation in various natural-landscape basins under different facies conditions, processes of sediment transformation into rock formations considering their potential oil and gas-bearing capacity, and acquaintance with rock stratigraphic complexes that constitute the sedimentary cover of oil and gas basins in Ukraine.

Assessment methods and criteria
The number of points is transferred from the 5th semester to the 6th, which is calculated according to the formula: the total number of points for the 5th semester * 50 / 100. The final assessment is carried out in the form of a written assessment in the 6th semester.
