The great majority of oil and gas pools and mature source rocks have recognizable surface geochemical expression. The O&G industry devotes significant time and resources in finding and defining traps, but little or none in establishing the likely presence of hydrocarbon in those traps, especially for older onshore basins.

With the drop of the oil prices, the search for leads and prospects with the
greatest potential for commercial success, has been more important than
ever. After a review of over 2700 exploration wells, surface geochemical
methods have been surveyed that more than 80% for these wells which were
drilled on prospect with an associated hydrocarbon anomaly, resulted in
commercial oil/gas discovery, and 89% of wells drilled on prospects lacking a
hydrocarbon anomaly were dry or non-commercial.

Course Overview
Apply an Exploration Methodology to Enhance your Discoveries
This course focuses on surface geochemical and non-seismic detection of O&G, the variety of
surface and near-surface methods for high-grade basins and play, and the pre-drilling
prefiction of hydrocarbon charge.
Extensive Regional and International Case Studies
The course is illustrated from a wide range of international basins and plays, structural and
stratigraphic case studies, onshore and offshore examples, and also the application to shale-
chalk plays
You will also learn how to utilize surface geochemical methods complementary to existing
seismic and geological methods in order to generate better prospects with the highest
potential and avoid pursuing prospects which are non-commercial/dry.

Course Agenda — 3 Days
general@petrosync.com | +65 6451 4500 | www.petrosync.com
DAY 1
The first day will introduce the basic concept of hydrocarbon
seepage, the varied surface expressions of seepage, and the
exploration implications of this seepage. Delegates will receive an
overview of hydrocarbon detection methods, learn how to apply
properly design a geochemical exploration survey, and see
exploration case histories from onshore and offshore frontier
basins and other underexplored areas.
Session 1: Hydrocarbon Seepage and Geochemical
Exploration
 History
 Near Surface Expression of Hydrocarbon Migration
(Onshore & Offshore)
 Implications for Exploration
DAY 2
Day 2 will review exploration case histories from worldwide basins
and geologic settings, with emphasis on the successful use of
hydrocarbon detection surveys to high-grade leads and prospects,
and to aid in field development and production. Explorationists
will also be able to learn about the interpretation guidelines, and
the importance of integrating geochemical data with other
exploration data. A class mapping exercise will be introduced
which will allow attendees to practices the knowledge gained so
far in the training.
Session 6: Exploration Case Histories
 Evaluation of Exploration Leads and Prospects
 Pre-Drill Prediction of Hydrocarbon Charge
Session 7: Exploration Case Histories

DAY 3
On the final day, the program will take a critical look at various
hydrocarbon detection methods, both direct and indirect, and
consider their relative advantages and disadvantages, and
limitations. We will also review hydrocarbon microseepage
models, mechanisms, and rates. Lastly and most importantly, we
will consider how these hydrocarbon detection methods can be
most effectively incorporated in a company’s exploration strategy.
Application to the exploration of unconventional resources will
also be covered.
