Subsurface geology of oil and gas fields is the key specialized course for the students majored in petroleum engineering and exploration of mineral resources program.

There are many ways the field of Geology contributes to the Petroleum Industry, including Sedimentology and Stratigraphy, Structural Geology, Geochemistry, Seismology and Geophysics, Plate Tectonics and Paleogeography. The varied disciplines of Geology explore the history of the Earth itself in hopes of understanding in greater detail where oil comes from and where more oil might be found, as well as the best ways to retrieve oil and utilize it once it has been retrieved.

Subsurface geology concerns the interpretation of stratigraphic. Structural, mineralogic, and hydrologic aspects and economic mineral values in earth’s subsurface. The subject therefore demands both imagination and analytic and systematic solutions to diverse problems not normally encountered in surface investigations. This course introduces the less-experienced geology to basic subsurface concepts and techniques, and provides either a comprehensive review or new training for both the experienced geologist and engineer.
