PETROGEO 7022 - Petroleum Geoscience: MSc Research Project

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2017

This course involves conducting a group research project under supervision by a panel of expert staff. Students will work together as a team to define and characterise all elements of a petroleum system within an 最新糖心Vlogn sedimentary basin selected by members of the supervisory staff. Each student will have responsibility for investigating and reporting on a particular element and/or process of the petroleum system. Students will then bring their components together as a group to formulate a cohesive timing chart of events that demonstrates critical moments in the history of the petroleum system. This will then be used to predict the location of likely hydrocarbon accumulations within the subsurface of the sedimentary basin up to the present day. The elements and processes of a petroleum system are interlinked so students will need to collaborate within their group in order to develop their own areas of work. These dependencies will be identified as part of an initial report that summarises the student's area(s) of study and will comprise background information and project goals, and perhaps also some early outcomes or results. This report is due at the end of Week 5 and should be approached as an opportunity to develop the basic structure of the final thesis.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

     
    1 Work as part of a team to define and characterise all elements and processes of a petroleum system within a sedimentary basin.
    2 Become an expert in the investigation of, and reporting on, particular petroleum system elements and/or processes.
    3 Express the geological development of a petroleum system by palaeogeographic reconstructions and burial history modelling of a sedimentary basin.
    4 Formulate a cohesive timing chart of events that demonstrates critical moments in the history of the petroleum system.
    5 Collaborate within the project group in order to demonstrate and describe the interlinkages between the elements and processes of a petroleum system.
    6 Predict the location of likely hydrocarbon accumulations within the subsurface of sedimentary basin.
    7 Map the risk that critical elements or processes did not or do not occur in the project definition of a fully formed and functioning petroleum system.

     
    The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers 最新糖心Vlog .

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
