COURSE OVERVIEW

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

 

Seismic acquisition processing, imaging, interpretation and extraction of geological and petrophysical information. Data examples, exercises, and workshops are used to illustrate key concepts, practical issues, and pitfalls as they affect the interpretation and integration of seismic data and information into E&P workflows. 

 

Practical aspects of seismic interpretation are covered with examples that involve the distinct aspects of geological and tectonic provinces relative to their hydrocarbon potential.  Interpretation workshops build understanding of the main techniques in seismic interpretation and in structural contour mapping. Special emphasis is given to hand contouring map interpretation comparisons with modern workstation interpretation mapping for 2D and 3D data sets. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of advanced seismic data acquisition and processing.  It covers the role of seismic in reservoir life cycle; the types of seismic methods; the principles of seismic wave propagation; and the principles of seismic reflection and signal processing tools. 

 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the effect of acquisition on interpretation, spatial sampling and aliasing; the noise types and how to attenuate noise in the field; the 3D survey parameters and design, acquisition systems & operations; the special issues and techniques of data interpretation and AVO analysis; the concept of quality assurance & business/cost overview, data processing flows and pre-stack analysis and signal corrections; sorting, gain, phase, deconvolution, velocity filtering and multiple attenuation; the velocity, velocity analysis and statics; the difference between filed statics and weathering corrections; the refraction and reflection based statics; the concept of time, prestack, depth migrations, prestack depth workflow, velocity model building and iteration; the processing pitfalls and quality assurance, seismic inversion and wavelet processing; the principles of AVO, rock physics, attributes, frequency and phase; the coherency and multi-component methods; the time lapse (4D) techniques; the subsurface integration for reservoir characterization; and the seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation.
