====== Tectonic processes in the formation of reservoirs ======

A short lecture on the tectonic processes affecting hydrocarbon reservoir rocks across scale. Focus lies on lithosphere extensional processes for clastic reservoirs as well as geodynamic processes affecting unconventional hydrocarbons/reservoirs.

===== Resources =====

The lecture notes are available on request.
