PETROGEO 7022 - Petroleum Geoscience: MSc Research Project

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2016

The course information on this page is being finalised for 2016. Please check again before classes commence.

This course involves conducting a group research project under supervision by a panel of expert staff. Students will work together as a team to define and characterise all elements of a petroleum system within an Australian sedimentary basin selected by members of the supervisory staff. Each student will have responsibility for investigating and reporting on a particular element and/or process of the petroleum system. Students will then bring their components together as a group to formulate a cohesive timing chart of events that demonstrates critical moments in the history of the petroleum system. This will then be used to predict the location of likely hydrocarbon accumulations within the subsurface of the sedimentary basin up to the present day. The elements and processes of a petroleum system are interlinked so students will need to collaborate within their group in order to develop their own areas of work. These dependencies will be identified as part of an initial report that summarises the student's area(s) of study and will comprise background information and project goals, and perhaps also some early outcomes or results. This report is due at the end of Week 5 and should be approached as an opportunity to develop the basic structure of the final thesis.
