- The principal objective of the degree courses entitled Petroleum Geosciences
(majors in Geology and Geophysics) is to train young graduates and professionals
from the industry in the full range of rational approaches, methods and techniques
used to explore, evaluate and characterize new fields or reservoirs likely to contain oil
or gas reserves.
To maintain a global approach at all times, the Geosciences syllabus attaches great
importance to project work and very frequently brings together geologists
and geophysicists to work on basin or reservoir studies. However, each of the majors
(Geology or Geophysics) deals in more detail with the specialist fields that are essential
for top quality expertise.
In this way, the trainee geologist will be directly operational more particularly
in the following geoscience fields:
? basin analysis and assessment, observations on various scales, specific description
of the components of an oil system, characterization of geological structures
and particularly traps;
? geological monitoring of reservoir production;
? integration of multi-scale data (well data, seismic cubes and lines, history
of production, etc.) for the construction of a 3D geological model of an oil reservoir.
The trainee geophysicist will more specifically carry out responsibilities in the following
professional environments:
? implementation of data acquisition systems and specific processing of geophysical
measurements, search for techniques and innovative methods in depth imagery, etc;
? modeling of the physical properties of the sedimentary pile and particularly reservoir
zones, implementation of sophisticated techniques (seismic inversion, seismic
monitoring, seismic attributes, etc.), determination of direct relationships
with the physical properties of reservoir rocks and in situ fluids;
? integration of diverse physical data into the reservoir production process,
in collaboration with geologists and reservoir engineers.
Thus, geologists and geophysicists work together in the core activity of Geosciences.
Whether their object of study is a promising/prospective basin or an already partly known
reservoir, they must together provide an increasingly detailed geological and geophysical
model.
Uncertainties in the determination of a natural object, in this case an oil trap at depth,
must be quantified in order to predict as well as possible the volumes of hydrocarbons
to be discovered or extracted, so development of the reservoir is subsequently facilitated.
The challenge of these geoscientific engineers is thus to pursue two approaches
with a certain ease: one approach is naturalistic and qualitative, based on interpretations
largely inspired by real cases that have been already tested, while the other is quantitative,
based on the rigorous principles of physical and mathematical models. These two
approaches are complementary, allowing us to predict with the minimum risk the presence
of new oil reserves or propose a realistic representation of a subsurface reservoir!
- The syllabus for the Petroleum Geosciences (majors in Geology and in Geophysics)
program covers three broad topics divided into 18 courses (Co). Certain courses are
common to both majors in order to accustom the students to working in teams on
geological objects such as basins or oil fields. Other courses go more deeply into
specialist fields for geologists or geophysicists
