Course Objectives		1. Characterization of fossil fuels and hydrocarbon source rocks by application of organic geochemical and organic petrographic methods 2. Evaluation of thermal maturity, hydrocarbon generation and expulsion processes by both laboratory analyses and computer-aided basin modeling 3. Use of thermal maturity indicators for calibration of basin modeling
Course Description		The content of this course will be the geochemistry of fossil fuels, namely oil, gas and coal. Organic geochemical and organic petrographic characterizations of hydrocarbon source rocks will be discussed in light of depositional environment, burial and thermal histories and hydrocarbon generation processes. Use of organic geochemical (thermal maturity) indicators for calibration of basin modeling calibration will also be dealt with in details
Course Outcomes		M.Sc. students who successfully pass this course gain knowledge, skill and competency in the following subjects; 1. Learn depositional settings and characterization of petroleum (oil and gas) source rocks 2. Learn depositional settings and characterization of coal 3. Learn the maturation processes for petroleum source rocks and coal 4. Learn how to assess thermal maturity indicators based on lab analyses 5. Learn how to characterize oil and gas based on organic geochemical and organic petrographic analyses 6. Learn the process of hydrocarbon generation from source rock/coal 7. Learn how to evaluate areas suitable for petroleum exploration
