Part of Geology, one of the fundamental areas of Field Study & Modelling and one of the Subsurface E&P Disciplines, related to localizing and assessing Hydrocarbon Reserves.
The typical exploration workflow includes the analysis of the following elements of sedimentary basins:
| Source Rock | Basin Analysis | Seal | Trap | Timing | Maturation | Fluid migration | Petroleum Reservoir | Hydrocarbon Reserves |
As part of Geology the Petroleum Geology develops its analysis over the study of Depositional facies and Lithological facies.
