SQD7003 Structural Geology and Subsurface Mapping

Different tectonic setting and their respective structural styles will be introduced. The main
structural elements and how they relate to trapping will be introduced. The importance of structural
restoration in complex domains will be discussed. Preparation of reservoir and pathway maps will be
taught and the basics of volumetrics given.
