COURSE OVERVIEW

Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using 3D seismic simulator.

 

Pre- and post-stack seismic attributes are playing a key role for the daily-basis geographical and geological work during exploration, appraisal and development phases.  The utilization of the seismic attributes requires understanding of their physical bases as well as the geological model(s) that could be extracted from them.

 

In this course, the physical and mathematical bases of the seismic attributes will be comprehensively explained.  Geological interpretation of each post-and pre-seismic attribute will be explained with obvious examples.  The course explains the detailed workflows to distinguish and delineate the potential reservoirs and their depositional elements that of course will result in reducing the drilling risks. The course also discusses the approaches and methodologies to be applied to the reservoir to characterize them in terms of rock properties, pore fluid type and depositional architecture modeling.  This course also discusses the geological models of different tectonic settings and their seismic expression and seismic attribute analysis to delineate the structural styles of each tectonic setting.

This course will provide a detailed and up-to-date overview of 3D seismic attributes for reservoir characterization. It covers the basic principles of 3D seismic attribute; the overview of seismic attributes; the definition, terminologies and classifications of seismic attributes; the post-stack seismic attributes including complex seismic trace, structural and stratigraphic, seismic discontinuity, seismic spectral decomposition and seismic waveform classification (segmentation); the pre-stack seismic (AVO) attributes comprising of basic principles of rock physics analysis and modeling, seismic data processing and conditioning prior AVO analysis and interpretation, equations used for AVO analysis and interpretation, AVO analysis and attribute interpretation, AVO attributes catalogue and reservoir delineation and characterization using AVO attributes; the applied workflows; the deltaic propagading wedges and their depositional elements as well as  interpreting and mapping fault systems in complex tectonic settings; computing reservoir porosities using seismic amplitude; and delineate the H.C. reservoirs using Seismic AVO attributes.

 

The course has practical sessions using real seismic and well-log data to apply the explained ideas and workflows using different industrial software (Hampson-Russel Software).
