BASIC COURSES
COURSE 1 - INTRODUCTION TO PETROLEUM GEOCHEMISTRY
Dr. René Rodrigues, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro
Course Description: The aim of this course is to present a general overview of
the analytical system applied to petroleum generation and correlation and their
application to elaborate a petroleum system.
COURSE 2 - PETROLEUM BIOMARKER
Dr. Sidney Gonçalo de Lima, Universidade Federal do Piauí
Course Description: The main objective of the course is to present an
overview
about
definition, biosynthetic origin,
stereochemistry,
classical methods of extraction, applications, geochemical parameters, analysis
technical at characterization of oils samples from Brazilian Sedimentary Basins.
COURSE 3 - GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY AND MASS SPECTROMETRY HYPHENATED
ANALYTICAL
TECHNIQUES
FOR
THE
CHARACTERIZATION OF PETROLEUM SAMPLES
MSc. Alessandro Casilli, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
Course Description: The aim of this course is to present a general overview of
gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) instruments applied for
the analysis of petrochemical samples.
Conventional GC and MS instrument will be approached as well as the most
modern analytical developments for the chromatographic (e.g. Fast GC,
MDGC, GC×GC) and mass spectrometric (e.g. fast quadrupole, time of flight
mass spectrometry, QqQ, High resolution mass spectrometry) fields.
A general overview of both the instrumentations currently available in the
market and their applications topetrochemical and geochemical samples will be
reported.
COURSE 4 - Heavy Oil
MSc. Laercio Lopes Martins, Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Darcy
Ribeiro
Course Description: The aim of this course is to present a general overview of
biodegradation and the origin of heavy oil.
Some petroleum biodegradation topics that will be approached:
 The alteration of petroleum chemical and physical properties;
 Microbial oxidation of oil: aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation;
 Key controls of oil biodegradation;
 Biodegradation level evaluation;
 The significance of understand oil microbial degradation.
COURSE 5 - Reservoir Geochemistry
Dr. Eliane Soares de Souza, Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Darcy
Ribeiro
Course Description: The organic geochemistry plays a key role in regional
assessments of sedimentary basins and characterization of petroleum systems
by mapping of hydrocarbon generation, characterization of oil types and models
for establishing generation, migration and accumulation. In recent years, the
organic geochemistry application has been facing a breakdown in scale
reservoir, thus trying to identify compositional heterogeneities within a single oil
field, with important implications for understanding the history of reservoir filling
towards providing subsidies for planning strategies for production and
development of oil fields.
1 - Petroleum systems: Elements and processes
2 - Fluid in reservoir: oil, gas, formation water
3 - Migration: Primary and secondary
4 - History of reservoir filling
