PETROGEO 7023 - Petroleum Geoscience: MSc Research Project B

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2020

This course involves conducting a group research project under the supervision of 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 a supervisory staff panel. Each student will have responsibility for investigating and reporting on particular elements and/or processes of identified petroleum systems. 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 identified petroleum systems. 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. These results will be used to map exploration risk in the basin and explain the cause(s) of any dry hole(s). 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 illustrated in weekly meetings that summarise group progress. Students will be assessed for their approach and their contributions at these meetings though the majority of a student's final grade is awarded by assessment of the final group thesis and presentation during oral examination.
