Outline
You should attend as this course:
- Covers the entire seismic process from acquisition, through processing to interpretation and in doing so shows how each relates to and impacts the other
- Presenter is actively consulting to one of the world’s largest seismic companies
- Course is essentially non-mathematical and makes wide use of diagrams, pictures, demonstrations and short videos to explain complex concept
- Numerous hands-on exercises and case studies are used to clarify and reinforce learnings. As much as possible, students will learn by doing rather than just listening
This three-day course provides an introduction to seismic surveys, how they are justified, acquired, processed and interpreted. Through a combination of lectures, videos, case-studies and hands-on exercises the participants will gain an understanding of the strengths and limitations of the seismic method, the meaning of seismic sections, maps and other products, and an overview of the latest developments in seismic technology.
- Geologists with limited geophysics training or background
- Supervisors and managers who need to communicate effectively with geophysicists
- Supply chain and support personnel who wants to more effectively support their seismic crews
- Management, technical and support personnel who wants to understand the jargon
- Reservoir engineers who liaise with geophysicists and/or work with seismic maps and other inputs
- Seismic interpreters with no processing background, processors with no acquisition background, etc.
By attending this training, you will be able to acquire the following:
- Obtain an understanding of the strengths and limitations of the seismic method, and the costs and risks involved, and how to reduce these
- Be able to communicate more effectively with petroleum geophysicists
- Understand the meaning of seismic maps and sections and know how to judge the quality and limitations of these important exploration tools.
- Gain an overview of the latest developments in seismic technology.
- Apply new-found knowledge to a series of simple illustrative exercises to aid understanding and gain confidence in use
- Know what types of questions to ask in order to assess the quality of a seismic project
