DE0434 : Geophysics Interpretation

Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Geophysics Interpretation. It covers the role of geophysical interpretation in exploration, appraisal and development; the principles of seismic data acquisition and processing; the fundamentals of seismic wave propagation, reflection and refraction; the seismic attributes including amplitude, phase, frequency and others and their relevance to interpreting geological features; the basic well logging and integration with seismic; the seismic stratigraphy and facies analysis; interpreting the 3D seismic volumes including visualization tools and methods for enhancing interpretational accuracy; the seismic attribute analysis for reservoir characterization; and the structural interpretation and fault analysis.

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the quantitative interpretation and inversion techniques, time-lapse (4D) seismic interpretation and integrating geological models with seismic interpretation; interpreting the data for unconventional resources; the shale gas, tight oil and coalbed methane; the emerging technologies and methodologies in geophysical interpretation; assessing the risks and uncertainties in geophysical interpretation including probabilistic approaches and sensitivity analysis; and the best practices for effective collaboration between geophysicists, geologists, reservoir engineers and other disciplines in integrated interpretation projects.
