Fundamentals of Seismic for Non-Geophysicists

Introduction:

This course provides an introduction to seismic surveys, how they are justified, acquired, processed and interpreted. Throughout the course, the candidates will gain an understanding of the strengths and limitations of the seismic method, the meaning of seismic sections, maps and other products, and an overview of the latest developments in seismic technology. This course is designed to provide an overview of one of the most important factors that determine the success or failure of an oil & gas project, this highly interactive program will equip you with a fundamental understanding of:

The terminology, jargon and procedures used in seismic geophysics
The strengths and limitations of the seismic method in Oil & Gas operations
How 2D, 3D and 4D surveys are economically justified, acquired, processed and interpreted
The construction, meaning and use of seismic maps and sections
An overview of the latest technological developments in seismic geophysics

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

Obtain an understanding of the strengths and limitations of the seismic method, and the costs and risks involved, and how to reduce these
Be able to communicate more effectively with petroleum geophysicists
Understand the meaning of seismic maps and sections and know how to judge the quality and limitations of these important exploration tools
Gain an overview of the latest developments in seismic technology
Apply new-found knowledge to a series of simple illustrative exercises to aid understanding and gain confidence in use
Know what types of questions to ask in order to assess the quality of a seismic project
