GEO-8127 Threedimensional seismic interpretation - 5 stp


The course is administrated by

Institutt for geovitenskap

Type of course

This course is available for Ph.D. students only.

Course overlap

GEO-3127 3-D Seismic Interpretation 5 stp

Course contents

The course focuses on the geological evaluation of 3D seismic data. Emphasis is placed on qualitative interpretation techniques for evaluating structural and sedimentological (stratigraphic) processes. Quantitative interpretation techniques for reservoir and hydrocarbon (HC) prediction (inversion, porosity and HC modelling) will be treated only briefly. Course participants will obtain practical and theoretical knowledge of the most up-to-date 3D interpretation techniques. This will enable them to carry out an independent analysis of 3D data using GeoFrame visualisation and mapping modules, and to describe and present structural and sedimentological models. Basic knowledge of sedimentology, structural geology and geophysics is assumed.

 

The courses ¿GEO-8127 3D Seismic Interpretation¿ and ¿GEO-3115 Petroleum Geology¿ will be given as partly integrated courses. Students attending both courses will be given the opportunity to use the gained geological understanding, maps and closures generated in ¿GEO-3127 3D Seismic Interpretation¿ in ¿GEO-3115 Petroleum Geology¿ with regards to petroleum system, reservoir, seal, risk and volume analysis.
