This course teaches participants about the principles of 3-D seismic interpretation. The content and level of instruction are scaled to participants’ level of familiarity with the technology. By the end of the course, participants will understand:
- The physical basis of the seismic method
- The differences between 2-D and 3-D acquisition, processing and interpretation workflows
- How choices made during acquisition and processing affect data interpretability
- How 3-D seismic data are interpreted and integrated with other data types
The course includes lectures, in-class problems and live demonstrations of interpretations. Some of the topics to be covered are:
- The 3-D seismic revolution – history and methods
- Physical basis of reflection seismology – seismic waves, reflectors and rock properties
- 2-D seismic acquisition and processing
- 3-D seismic acquisition, processing and display
- Interpreting stratigraphic, structural and rock property information from 3-D seismic data and time-lapse (“4-D”) seismic methods
Selected case studies will be used to illustrate the concepts, including:
- Hydrothermal dolomites – Appalachian Basin
- Fracture-swarm sweet spots in tight-gas sandstones – San Juan Basin
There are a limited number of sponsored registrations available for students on a first-come basis. If you wish to register for one of the sponsored spots, please register online at www.aapg.org/sanantonio/registration.cfm. If sponsored space is no longer available, you can register at the full fee and/or you can place your name on the waiting list for a sponsored space in the short course.
