Course overview

This course covers the processes and systems that control the formation and storage of energy resources such as water, hydrogen, geothermal heat and hydrocarbons in sedimentary basins.

Course learning outcomes

  • Demonstrate proficiency in practical skills to identify energy resources
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the fundamentals of the formation of sedimentary basins and evaluate and interpret the processes leading to the storage of energy systems
  • Use and evaluate the appropriate strategies and methods for exploration of energy resources and potential storage and the scientific approaches being applied to exploration, production and storage
  • Integrate data of varied type (stratigraphic, geochemical, geophysical) to analyse the potential of an energy resource
  • Demonstrate understanding of the position of the energy industry (e.g. water, CO2 sequestration, hydrogen, geothermal, hydrocarbons) in the Australian economy
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the geological characteristics of the geology of Australian energy resources
