Advanced Seismic Interpretation

Application to Exploration & Production and Other Industries

Course Overview

This Advanced Seismic Interpretation training course equips participants with interpretation techniques for seismic data, focusing on seismic attributes, sequence stratigraphy, and structural geology. It will guide professionals on how to integrate available data into seismic models, improving the accuracy and success of seismic predictions.

The Energy Training Centre training course will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the seismic interpreter’s role in studies involving post-stack seismic attributes, sequence stratigraphy, seismic geomorphology, vertical Seismic profiles, and hydrocarbon accumulation analysis.

Key highlights include:

  • Seismic visual perception and its impact on interpretation
  • Geological concepts, sedimentary models, and structural styles
  • Introduction to seismic interpretation software
  • Depth conversion and various seismic velocity models

Course Objectives

This Advanced Seismic Interpretationtraining course focuses on the interpretation of seismic data sets, providing participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience on the role of seismic interpreters in the industry.

By the conclusion of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Acquire a solid understanding of a variety of specialized interpretative methods
  • Gain hands-on experience with real-world data sets and workflows commonly used in the oil industry, enabling them to carry out tasks independently or supervise others
  • Effectively contribute to multi-disciplinary teams by accounting for geophysical inputs
  • Achieve proficiency in seismic interpretation techniques

Training Methodology

This Advanced Seismic Interpretation training course is evenly divided between the seismic expression of structural styles and seismic stratigraphy. After spending minimal time on acquisition and background theory, participants will be made acutely aware of impedance and resolution and identification of processing errors and how important it is to understand these before interpretation.

The participants will also be introduced to the structural complexity associated with fold and thrust terrains, extensional systems and various types of wrench faulting and salt/mud related deformation.

Who Should Attend

This Advanced Seismic Interpretation training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Geologists
  • Geophysicists
  • Production Engineers
  • Petrophysical Engineers
  • Seismic Interpreters
