Short Course
Concepts of Basin and Petroleum Systems Modeling
Available to EGI Corporate Associate Members
OverviewThis two-day course will introduce major aspects of Basin and Petroleum Systems Modeling in exploration. The course includes an overview of sedimentary basins and their classification scheme as well as of the petroleum system classification approach. Additionally, the course introduces participants to the most prominent geodynamic, physical, and geochemical processes acting on sedimentary basins through geologic time. Chapter summaries and exercises will help to understand and apply the theoretical aspects in modeling sedimentary basins for petroleum exploration purposes.
A final project (exercise) using 1D IES/PetroMod will then further consolidate the acquired knowledge and skills to guide learners step by step through data requirements and preparation, model building, and simulation as well as results, analysis, and evaluation.
ObjectivesThe course will provide with sufficient background to
Ø understand the basics aspects of basin & petroleum systems modeling
Ø describe and identify the most prominent geodynamic, physical and chemical processes acting on sedimentary basins through geologic time relevant for basin modeling
Ø integrate data to provide a geological evolution and modeling framework for multidimensional basin models
Ø produce and evaluate 1D petroleum system models with IES PetroMod®

Matthias Greb, M.Sc.Senior Geologic Advisor
Matthias is an experienced basin modeler and petroleum systems analyst with 9 years of related experience in petroleum exploration and research.
Prior to joining EGI for a second term, he worked at the Houston-based Apache Corporation Exploration & Production Technology group as a petroleum systems expert, providing technical expertise and guidance to Apache’s business units within the United States and abroad. During his earlier career he worked for Integrated Exploration Systems (IES) & Schlumberger in Germany and Mexico as a basin modeler. In both occupations he was responsible for offering consultancy in petroleum exploration as well as professional training and short courses comprising state of the art topics in basin and petroleum systems modeling.
Greb holds a Bachelor’s degree in engineering and a Master’s degree in applied geosciences from the Technische Universität Darmstadt in Germany. He speaks fluent English, Spanish and German.
He has been a guest lecturer at the Department of Geology & Geophysics at the University of Utah since 2010, assisting in graduate courses in the petroleum industry career path program. He is a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) and Tulsa Geological Society (TGS).
Focus on IntegrationMatthias’s main research interests center around a holistic understanding of petroleum systems, from source deposition, kerogen composition, and thermal evolution, to petroleum generation, migration, and accumulation. His work is focused on applied exploration and production aspects that lead to a better understanding of petroleum systems dynamics on both regional and prospect scales.
His research at EGI will be focused towards reducing uncertainties and improving exploration and exploitation performance in both conventional and unconventional ventures through a strong focus on integration of research results and cross discipline collaboration within EGI as well as sponsoring companies.
Matthias has a broad expertise on petroleum basins from around the world including major petroleum provinces of Argentina, Australia, Canada, Colombia, Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Mexico, Mozambique, Namibia, offshore United Kingdom and the on- and offshore United States.
Technology TransferMatthias will conduct a series of short courses to sponsoring companies concerning petroleum systems analysis, basin modeling and integrated workflows in order to strengthen technology transfer. Courses are offered in English, Spanish, and German.
