Course Objectives		1. Increase awareness of unconventional hydrocarbon resources 2. Evaluate hydrocarbon generation and expulsion to source conventional reservoirs 3. Learn about the key factors influencing the quality- and producibility of uncon-ventional reservoirs 4. Determine the content of the retained (un-expelled) oil and/or gas 5. Evaluate frackability to produce retained hydrocarbons
Course Description		The content of the "geology of the unconventional hydrocarbon resources" course mainly includes evaluation of unconventional hydrocarbon occurrences such as shale oil and shale gas. The regions where source rock has not expelled the generated hydrocarbons, known as sweet spots, and thus suitable for exploitation will be evaluated by multi-disciplinary approach.
Course Outcomes		M.Sc. students who successfully pass this course gain knowledge, skill and competency in the following subjects; 1. Learn about occurrences of unconventional hydrocarbon resources 2. Learn about formation of hydrocarbon source rocks and how to characterize them 3. Learn the processes of burial and thermal histories for the source rock layer(s) 4. Gain knowledge about hydrocarbon generation within and expulsion from the source rock process through time 5. Can evaluate the effects of key factors on the quality of unconventional reservoirs 6. By aid of basin modeling, determine the hydrocarbon content and gas/oil ratio of hy-drocarbons within the source rock 7. Identify sweet spots for exploitation
Pre-requisite(s)		Good knowledge of General Geology and preferably Subsurface geology.
Required Facilities		Capability to attend the class online.
