Geophysics for Geologists and Engineers |

Instructors: Thomas R. Wittick
Course Length: 5 days
Course CEUs: 4
Course Description
This course gives users of seismic data and people who make decisions based on seismic interpretations, the background they need to understand or evaluate basic interpretation. It introduces the major interpretive techniques currently in use, and shows the types of problems each technique is capable of solving as well as showing the pitfalls associated with each procedure. Through the workshops, participants come away with experience in using many interpretive techniques. They will gain an understanding of how different types of seismic data acquisition and processing impact the final seismic section or data volume they work with, and they will be able to make better interpretive decisions because of that knowledge. Participants will also gain an appreciation for the difference between exploration and exploitation/development geophysics, and acquire practical experience in structural and stratigraphic interpretation techniques.
Offered as a Public or In-house course.
Who should attend
Geologists, geophysicists, geotechnologists, managers, processors, landmen, and engineers concerned with gaining an appreciation for geophysics.
