Seismic Reservoir Characterization in Oil & Gas Exploration

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.
