Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Basic knowledge of physics, chemistry, basics of petrophysics, petrography of sedimentary rocks, basics of oil and gas extraction technology; English language proficiency.
Course content
The discipline is focused on the study of geological features of unconventional sources of hydrocarbons - shale rocks, compacted reservoirs, combustible gases of coal basins. The peculiarities of placement in the earth's crust and within individual oil and gas bearing basins of strata containing unconventional hydrocarbons are considered. The educational discipline covers all important issues related to the origin, genetic types of deposits of unconventional sources of hydrocarbons, their distribution, methods of study, as well as existing technologies for the development of shale gas and oil deposits, methane of coal basins, combustible gases of compacted reservoir rocks.
