Description
Seismic interpretation makes it possible to extract subsurface geologic information from 2 and 3 dimensional seismic data sets. It is a key enabler of many exploration but also reservoir characterisation activities. This course is designed to provide an introduction to seismic interpretation as it is applied in the industry.
The course provides an understanding of the fundamentals of modern seismic acquisition and processing steps needed to prepare seismic interpretation databases. Seismic interpretation techniques in various structural and stratigraphic settings will be discussed, using a large number of examples and hands-on paper interpretation. One focus will be to link seismic information, which is usually in time domain, to the depth domain. Another objective will be to learn about seismic attributes and how to incorporate these in advanced interpretation. Finally, not all seismic features are related to geology, hence a critical task covered will be to distinguish useful data from artefacts.
