Are you a Practicing Seismic Interpreter wishing to improve your interpretation skills and gain awareness of interpretation workflows, focusing on stratigraphic interpretation and unconventional reservoir analysis?

If your answer is 'YES!' then join Dr. Rachel Newrick on: Advanced Seismic Interpretation, taking place from 25 Sept - 05 Oct, in a virtual format.

Business Impact: This course is designed to strengthen key interpretation skills and add tools to the interpreter’s workflow. The strengthening of these skills and added tools will enable participants to improve success rates and decrease drilling risks and costs by reducing structural, stratigraphic and fluid uncertainty.

Topics include the creative use of seismic attributes to extract stratigraphic detail and rock property information from 3D data, quantitative interpretation techniques applicable to unconventional reservoirs, and tools for reservoir management. A key theme is understanding the importance of geophysical data and consciously communicating the value of these data to the team.

Participants will learn to:

1. Evaluate phase, bandwidth, and other factors affecting seismic resolution.
2. Investigate the use of workstation tools to perform jump-correlations, create synthetic seismograms, construct structural and stratal slices, and perform horizon flattening and auto-tracking to construct efficient interpretation workflows.
3. Evaluate the creative use of color and other display parameters to extract maximum stratigraphic detail from 3D data.
4. Assess the use of seismic attributes for structural and stratigraphic interpretation as well as reservoir characterization, and select appropriate attributes to meet project objectives.
5. Evaluate the potential for direct hydrocarbon indicators.
6. Design optimized interpretation workflow approaches to estimate reservoir properties such as net pay, porosity, pore volume, and estimated ultimate recovery.
7. Assess the roles of cross-well imaging, VSP and micro-seismic data in reservoir characterization.
8. Investigate the role that pre-stack inversion can play in characterizing reservoirs.
9. Examine converted wave technologies and explain how they might be utilized to improve seismic imaging and reservoir characterization.
10. Demonstrate the importance of geophysics and consciously communicate the value and necessity to their team.
