Why should you attend?
The class will give geophysicists and geologists involved in HC potential evaluation a complete picture of what is interpretation, the strength and the limits, shortcuts and tricks. Geoscientists will boost their comprehension and skills in 2D/3D seismic-structural interpretation techniques, from basin play analysis to target identification, ranking, prospect generation and risk evaluation.
Beside the interpretation, the course will provide as well fundamentals of Petroleum System concept and Play Risk analysis, enabling participants to become proficient on the job and to deliver the respective section objectives.
Main Objectives:
- Recap on rock physics fundamentals
- Fundamentals of seismic acquisition and processing
- 2D and 3D seismic interpretation on data – picking, posting, contouring, mapping, target identification
- Time-to-depth conversion
- Seismic stratigraphic fundamentals and seismic attributes (amplitudes, coherency, AVO etc.)
- Sharing knowledge and experience
Learning Approach:
Attendants will learn through live course, with hand-on practical exercises and a booklet.
Participants will work on their own, in couple or in group, according to the exercises. As software platforms are not available in that course, participants will run interpretation, mapping and other exercices on paper, together with the help and support of the teacher.
Results will be checked at the end of each day and shared among students, to facilitate knowledge sharing.
All documents are provided.
HSE requirements:
No specific requirement for this course that can take place in any meeting room with validated HSE characteristics, in your company premises or elsewhere.
Course Agenda:
Five days (35-40 hours) is the ideal time. The course can be shortened or lengthened according to the request.

Prerequisites
The course is designed for young or advanced geoscientists (geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers) involved in exploration and development projects, willing to learn or reinforce their knowledge and skills in 2D/3D seismic structural interpretation. The class will update participants about fundamentals of geophysics, seismic acquisition and processing technics, and will focus on 2D/3D seismic interpretation, time to depth conversion, fundamentals of seismic stratigraphy and seismic attributes.
Project/Team leaders and asset coordinators who want to better interact with geoscience team members and, in general, want to ensure the most correct way to evaluate their licence/field potential.
A number of practical exercises based on real case histories will help consolidating the matter.
