Petroleum Geology

A working petroleum system needs all elements and timing alignment: source, migration, reservoir, seal, and trap.

Structural geology defines trap geometry and seal integrity, directly influencing hydrocarbon column height and recoverable volume.

Stratigraphy and basin analysis explain where reservoir-quality facies occur and how burial history affects maturity and preservation.

Seismic interpretation converts reflection signatures into depth-structure understanding for trap mapping and prospect de-risking.

Reservoir characterization integrates logs, cores, and seismic into a spatial model for volumetrics and simulation.
