This 2D and 3D Seismic Interpretation training course will concentrate on reflection seismic, a crucial technique for subsurface imaging from a geological standpoint. Seismic data, both in 2D and 3D formats, is an essential resource in the oil and gas industries, supporting both onshore and offshore operations.
Beyond its traditional role in hydrocarbon exploration, seismic data is increasingly used in geothermal energy, carbon sequestration in geological formations, and offshore wind energy projects. It also plays a key role in mapping salt structures for gas storage, identifying mineral deposits, and other subsurface imaging applications.
The training course will provide a thorough understanding of the principles behind 2D and 3D seismic data interpretation, covering its historical development, methods of acquisition, data processing, visualization techniques, and relevant software tools. Participants will engage in practical exercises to interpret seismic data, focusing on identifying faults and horizons to better understand the structure, stratigraphy, and geodynamics of geological basins.
Additionally, the training course will explore resource evaluation in the context of hydrocarbons, including exercises on reserve estimation and associated risk calculations.
The main topics of this Energy Training Centre training course include:
- Seismic data acquisition and processing methods
- 2D and 3D data visualization
- Fault interpretation and structural modeling
- Horizon and stratigraphic interpretation
- Petroleum systems, volumetrics, and risk analysis
