Intro
The course provides the introduction to stratigraphy of Russian and adjacent countries' oil and gas bearing deposits. It contains the problem of regionalization of the oil and gas bearing territories and estimation of their perspectives.The discipline "Stratigraphy of Russian and adjacent countries' oil and gas bearing deposits” is a component of the professional cycle М.2 of Master training syllabus on the training direction 05.04.01 Geology. To accomplish the course successfully, it is necessary to possess the knowledge in the basics of all disciplines in the field of geology. The accomplishment of the given course is a theoretical and methodological basis for the future scientific occupation of the graduate.
Main Objectives
The course provides the introduction to stratigraphy of Russian and adjacent countries' oil and gas bearing deposits. It contains the problem of regionalization of the oil and gas bearing territories and estimation of their perspectives.
Learning Outcomes
Competences of the student, formed in the result of passing the course “Stratigraphy of Russian and adjacent countries' oil and gas bearing deposits”:
а) general cultural competences (GCC):
- ready to improve and develop independently its intellectual and general cultural level (GCC-1);
- ready to integrate the knowledge and to form its own judgment independently while solving professional and social problems (GCC-7);
- able to choose and apply the methods and means of knowledge to achieve the goal (ОК-10);
б) professional competences (PC):
- able to broaden and deepen its scientific outlook (PC-2);
- able to formulate research objectives independently, settle the order for solving tasks (PC-3);
able to apply the knowledge of the fundamental and adjoin apply sections of special disciplines of Master’s program (PC-6);
able to analyze critically, present, defend, discuss, and distribute the results of professional activity (PC-12);
As a result of completing the course, the student should:
- know the general information about stratigraphy of Russian and adjacent countries' oil and gas bearing deposits: boundaries, administrative position, modern degree of geologic certainty, significance in extraction of oil and gas; main features of geological structure: characteristics of the section, main structural elements; oil and gas potential: brief history of discovery and development of the province, regional oil and gas potential complexes and productive horizons, features of physical and chemical content of hydrocarbons, oil and gas regionalization and distinguishing the main types of oil and gas potential territories, regions and zones; structure of the typical and the largest oilfields; further perspectives of oil and gas bearing and directions of exploration.
- have skills to analyze the geological data for assessment the prospectiveness for oil and gas potential of the region;
- possess the data search skills on the subject of Petroleum Geology.

Educational technologies
Along with the classical teaching techniques (lectures, seminars and self-study) other methods are applied, including:
- Interview with professor through the lections with the elements of discussion of the most important and controversial topics. It develops professional speech skills of students;
- Individual activity of students with the guidance of the professor (consultations and help in the writing of the Essays) or separately in the Scientific |Library of TSU;
- Some materials necessary for individual activity are accessible in the Internet; such kind of self education develops the ability to search and sort the needed information in the worldwide web;
- Visiting symposia, conferences, seminars and open lectures of the leading specialists in the field of modern problems of paleontology and stratigraphy;
Other teaching techniques like dispute and brainstorm are also applied.
