Practical Petroleum Geoscience is a survey course in PowerPoint format (approximately 700 slides), designed to cover topics of geology and geophysics specifically utilized in oil and gas exploration and production. The course also treats aspects of economics and risk analysis needed in the search for and development of oil and gas reserves.

Dr. Font developed this course to give petroleum geologists access to essential information, information often omitted or "glossed over" in various college curricula. He has included here facts that he wished he had available when beginning work as a petroleum geologist or that he could easily reference in later work.
