• OVERVIEW OF THE SUBSURFACE PETROLEUM GEOLOGY OF NORTHERN SOUTH AMERICA: FROM MATURE ONLAND SUPERGIANTS TO OFFSHORE FRONTIERS: This course will focus on the subsurface geology of Venezuela and Trinidad and their offshore areas. The fast pace of the oil industry makes it unlikely for many explorationists to have the time or inclination to think in global terms about common habitats and controlling factors for oil and gas in this region. This course will help participants understand the present distribution of oil and gas at basin- to continent-wide scales and to become aware of commonly recurring tectonic, structural and stratigraphic factors in their formation.
