The course uses learning objectives that are aimed at knowledge and application levels, enabling participants to gain a solid understanding of the applications and role of the seismic interpreter in studies that involve post-stack seismic attributes, AVO, seismic sequence stratigraphy, seismic geomorphology, 4D time-lapse seismic and multidisciplinary integration.

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

• • To acquire skills in interpretation of 3-D seismic data
  • To enhance theoretical knowledge of seismic structural interpretation, stratigraphic interpretation, reservoir identification and evaluation, and horizon and formation attributes
  • Be familiar with PETRELÔ software
