Seismic Modeling in Exploration and Development |
|
Instructors: Thomas R. Wittick
Course Length: 5 DAYS
Course CEUs: 4.0
Course Description
With the increased amount of detailed information required from seismic data, seismic modeling is an essential tool of the modern geophysicist. Participants in this course gain a working understanding of the various types of seismic models, as well as the situations in which each is applicable in exploration and development work. In the course workshops, participants use computers and seismic modeling software to design 3-D data acquisition programs, determine optimum processing sequences and interpret seismic data. Participants also learn how to use seismic modeling to calibrate seismic signatures to various reservoir properties and to interpret reservoir properties from actual seismic data, based on the results of seismic modeling studies. Participants will gain a working knowledge of using seismic modeling to interpret 2-D and 3-D seismic data.
Who should attend
Geologists, geophysicists and geotechnologists, with less than 10 years of experience, concerned with using seismic modeling in exploration and development. (Maximum class size 16)
