Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of borehole seismic acquisition, processing and operation. It covers the borehole seismic principles and applications; the seismic acquisition equipment and job planning for offshore and onshore; the VSP acquisition, hDVS acquisition and modelling, wellsite and post-job deliverables; the borehole seismic modelling covering walkabove, offset VSP, walkaway, 3DVSP modelling and microseismic modelling; the borehole seismic processing comprising of VSP workflow, corridor stack and well to seismic tie; and the time correction and sonic drift.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the reporting and time depth computation; the advanced operations, navigation, walkaway and walkabove acquisition; the 3D VSP and PAT (portable airgun tank); the advanced conveyance and application for TLC, tractors, through drillpipe seismic and seismicVISION; and the advanced processing and application through imaging, Q--factor, quantitative borehole matching, VSP inversion, anisotropy, AVO-AVA, microseismic advanced applications and walkaway imaging practical.
