Tutors: Rachel Newrick: Consultant Geophysicist, Racian Ventures/John Randolph: Consultant Geophysicist

This class provides an overview of seismic wave propagation, discusses important issues related to seismic data acquisition and imaging, and introduces students to practical seismic interpretation workflows, including mapping techniques. Additional topics, such as seismic attributes, borehole geophysics, reservoir characterization and reservoir surveillance, are also included. Technical discussions will cover both conventional and unconventional reservoir topics.

You will learn to:

1. Explain the fundamentals of seismic wave propagation and factors affecting resolution at the reservoir level.
2. Calibrate seismic data using well data.
3. Communicate effectively with data acquisition and processing specialists.
4. Execute an effective interpretation workflow for a 2-D seismic project.
5. Apply interpretation fundamentals to design a 3-D workflow on a workstation.
6. Utilize multiple offset volumes to perform reconnaissance AVO analysis.
7. Apply basic seismic sequence stratigraphic interpretation principles.
8. Perform time-to-depth conversions using simplified velocity models.
9. Utilize common seismic attributes to characterize reservoirs.
10. Generate volumetric estimates of recoverable reserves (EUR).
