Seismic Interpretation-Foundation

Audience

Geologists, geophysicists, and engineers who want to use seismic data for petroleum exploration and/or production.

Purpose

This course will increase the participants understanding seismic reservoir interpretation process and gives an overview of the acquisition and processing. The main goal of the course is to provide an insight into lead or prospect and evaluate it.

The participants will learns how to generate seismic interpretation workflow, to end up with lead or prospect by using 2D and 3D seismic examples of structural and stratigraphic features.

Learning Objectives

Upon the completion of this course the participant will be able to:

• Basics: geological controls on the propagation, reflection, and refraction of seismic waves.
• Data acquisition and processing with emphasis on its potential impact on seismic interpretation.
• 2D and 3D seismic interpretation techniques.
• Seismic to well Tie.
• Seismic interpretation of different structural styles: extensional, compressional, strike-slip basins.
• Generate maps.
• Seismic velocities and depth conversion.
• Volume calculation.
• Prospect evaluation.
