As part of its academic and practical training curriculum, the <\/span>Petroleum and Mining Engineering Department<\/span><\/strong> at Tishk International University (TIU) successfully conducted a geological field excursion on <\/span>May 24, 2025<\/span><\/strong>, to the <\/span>Khanas district<\/span><\/strong>. This field trip was organized to enhance students’ understanding of core geological and petroleum-related concepts through real-world observation and field-based learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Objectives of the Field Excursion<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The primary goals of the trip were to:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Familiarize students with local <\/span>stratigraphic units<\/span><\/strong> and their geological significance.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Observe and interpret <\/span>sedimentological characteristics<\/span><\/strong> such as rock textures, layers, and depositional structures.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Identify and analyze components of the <\/span>petroleum system<\/span><\/strong>, including source rocks, reservoir rocks, and structural traps.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Activities and Educational Outcomes<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

    During the excursion, students visited selected <\/span>geological outcrops<\/span><\/strong> in the Khanas area. These outcrops provided clear examples of sedimentary layering and structural features that are crucial in the field of petroleum geology.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Students had the opportunity to:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Examine various <\/span>sedimentary rocks<\/span><\/strong> in their natural environment.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Discuss the stratigraphic context of rock units.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Apply classroom knowledge to interpret subsurface geological processes in a practical setting.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The hands-on experience significantly enriched the students\u2019 theoretical understanding, and according to feedback, the trip was both educational and engaging. The Petroleum and Mining Engineering Department remains committed to integrating fieldwork opportunities that reinforce theoretical instruction and promote student engagement with real-world geological applications.<\/span><\/p>\n
