COURSE OVERVIEW

This course covers fundamentals of Rock Physics ranging from basic laboratory and theoretical results to practical “recipes” that can be immediately applied in the field. We will present quantitative tools for understanding and predicting diagnostic seismic signatures of deposition, diagenesis, lithology, pore fluid saturation, stress, pore pressure and temperature, and fractures. We will present case studies and strategies for quantitative seismic interpretation and, suggestions for more effectively employing seismic-to-rock properties transform in reservoir characterization and monitoring, with emphasis on seismic interpretation and uncertainty quantification for lithology and subsurface fluid detection. The course is recommended for all geophysicists, reservoir geologists, seismic interpreters, and engineers concerned with reservoir characterization, reservoir delineation, hydrocarbon detection, reservoir development and recovery monitoring.

The main objective of this course is to provide Exploration & Development professionals with the opportunity to develop hands-on experience of various Seismic Reservoir Characterization techniques. It will cover all Seismic approaches from fundamental theoretical background to high-level real work information/techniques.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of this training course, participants will learn to:

  • Determine Seismic data Phase & Polarity
  • Determine Seismic Wavelet Sensitivity
  • Determine Seismic to Well Tie Sensitivity
  • Apply RGB Color-Blending Spectral Analysis vs. Full Bandwidth Conventional Seismic
  • Analyse VSP data & Make Velocity
  • Build Velocity Models & Make Depth Conversion Sensitivity
  • Estimating HCIIP, COS &
  • Separating between Fluid & Lithology using different methodologies; AVO, Inversion and other techniques.
  • Generate Seismic Impedance Cube & Facies Cube (Gas Sand, Water Sand & Shale/Background).
  • Extract a Gas-Sand & Water-Sand Geobodies from Seismic
  • Analyse all the data to optimize the best Well
  • Evaluate and mature new Plays &
  • Search for new Opportunities in Brown Fields.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This course is designed for all Oil industry Technical Professionals, and will cover from fundamental theoretical background to high-level real work information/techniques/workshops.

This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Seismic Interpreters
  • Geophysicists
  • Geologists
  • Geo-Modelers
  • Petrophysicists
  • Drilling Engineers
  • Reservoir Engineers
  • Technical Support Personnel
  • Team Leaders
  • Managers

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

The course will not only be presented by showing and interpreting the material in detail but also the participants will work together using real Seismic data to apply all the workflow and to project their previous knowledge and experience onto the course, they are also encouraged to bring their own data so that real working examples can be reviewed and interpreted.

Pre & Post course assessments will be used to measure the effectiveness of this training.
