O&G exploration is a series of capital-intensive activities, where data results are continuously affecting succeeding operations from the onset. It is only necessary that even from the initial stage of seismic surveying and processing, explorationists must acquire good data sets, as these consequently affect further subsurface evaluation and other E&P business decisions later on. This course will cover both seismic acquisition procedures as well as data processing methodologies in application to various complex environments and case studies. They will learn the tools available in the industry to ensure quality control on the conduct of the survey and the type of data acquired. Theories will be presented along with practical exercises on situational cases in application of the core skills of data acquisition. Delegates will also learn about the best practices and the new technologies available for seismic data acquisition and how this can be applied to their own operations. Furthermore, delegates will be able to choose an optimal processing workflow with interrelated processing steps and parameters, all impacting the resulting data quality, cost and time to delivery. They will gain a sound knowledge of processing theory and current best practices in data processing. Specialized cases of various complex environments will be provided. Advanced processing methods focus on specialized studies involving data integration of geological details, well logging data, and petro physical data.
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
DAY 1
Key Principles in Data Acquisition
DAY 2
Survey Design & Execution
DAY 3
Data Preparation & Pre-Processing
DAY 4
Advanced Data Processing
DAY 5
Data Processing & Interpretation
Exploration Geophysicists and Geologists involved in seismic acquisition and processing. Good processing is an integrated effort so the course is also targeted at those who contribute to the processing workflow and parameter selection, be it hands-on or in supervising processing done by others.
