Interpretation of Seismic Data

Description

This course will start with the old paper sections interpretation going to digital seismic data interpretation on the workstation then to 3D visualisation, well data analysis, followed by the Seismic Reflection Theory, wavelets, and vertical and horizontal resolution. The course then will cover the acquisition and processing steps. This will be followed by incorporating geological information, gravity and magnetics information, well data, generation of synthetic seismogram, then vertical seismic profile generation and its utilisation in interpretation. Following that, the course will provide a detailed explanation of picking and mapping horizons with an overview of the best practices and the most recent seismic 2D and 3D data interpretation technologies used onshore and offshore.

The participants will then learn the most important terms of seismic data acquisition and interpretation techniques, zero and minimum phase wavelets, deconvolution, correlation, misties, normal and reverse polarities, synthetic seismograms, modelling, seismic horizontal and vertical resolution, contouring, followed by exercises for a deeper understanding of structural and stratigraphic interpretation. Delegates will learn how to interpret faults, reflections and diffractions, and how to do contour map parameters in their own operations and in different environments using the latest techniques in order to allow for better interpretation in their areas. Participants will also learn about flower structures, salt dome structures. Interpretation pitfalls will then be discussed in order to identify the most common principal sources of error, such as multiples, geometrical distortion and velocity effects.

At the end of this course the velocity optimisation concepts will be discussed, as well as integration of seismic data and well data, in order to generate depth and isochore maps.

Seismic stratigraphic interpretation will be covered in the Advanced Interpretation course.
