Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Knowledge of the disciplines of the general geological cycle, as well as geophysics and petroleum geology. 2. Have the skills to analyze and summarize geological and geophysical information, work with databases and other data sources
Course content
Oil and gas complexes and hydrocarbon systems, their location in sedimentary basins of different types are considered. Approaches to the reconstruction of sedimentation conditions and diagenetic alterations of rocks are described, methods of determining their age are characterized. The importance of basin analysis for the study of geological and thermal history of sedimentary basins and the leading role of the seismic method for the identification of prospects is emphasized. Unconventional hydrocarbon fields, stratiform deposits and deep geothermal energy are included.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, practical classes, independent work of students.
Assessment methods and criteria
Assessment is carried out using a modular rating system and includes: practical work (where students must demonstrate the quality of their acquired knowledge and solve set tasks using the methods and tools outlined by the teacher), independent practical work (where students must demonstrate the quality of their acquired knowledge and solve the tasks set without restrictions on the tools and techniques used to solve the problem) and 2 written modular tests. The final assessment is carried out in the form of an oral test.
