Fundamentals of Seismic Interpretation

About the Course

It is a critical step in evaluating the subsurface. Interpretation turns the large investments in seismic data acquisition and processing into value. This gives rise to a geological subsurface model that can be used for making well considered E&P decisions with major investment consequences. Seismic interpretation therefore plays a pivotal role in the E&P workflow and it is essential that staffs involved are well educated in the principles of seismic interpretation.

 

Course Objectives

The course is designed to show participants the principles and the steps involved in seismic interpretation. This is not practical, but it gives step by step approach to the seismic interpretation, irrespective of the software being used.

 

Course Content

Recapitulation of the fundamentals that is of direct relevance for interpretation, reflection coefficients, polarity convention etc. Brief summary on seismic acquisition and processing, focusing on aspects that have direct relevance for interpretation

Generation of synthetic seismograms and well-to-seismic matching. Well-to seismic Matching exercise. Summary of well geophysics. Interpretation fundamentals and introduction of 2D/3D seismic interpretation workflows. Marker recognition and transfer. Seismic (volume) attributes for seismic interpretation.
