GEOPHYSICS FOR GEOLOGISTS AND PETROLEUM ENGINEERS

Duration: 3 days

Designed for: Persons who should attend include petroleum engineers, geologists and other related oil industry disciplines seeking to increase their understanding of this fundamental aspect of oil and gas exploration and development.

In modern exploration for oil and gas, geophysics is the key to success, particularly in offshore and frontier areas. Contemporary geophysics (gravity, magnetic methods and particularly seismic) provides the necessary technology to remote-sense the reservoir to reduce the drilling risk. Seismic also plays a significant role in reservoir delineation and development.

Petroleum Engineers and Geologists are extremely comfortable with logs. The seismic trace is simply an additional log which, on the one hand comes by the thousand yet, on the other, does not have the resolving power of the sonic log. This deficiency has traditionally proved onerous..

This 3-day course presents the basic principles in a non-mathematical yet practical, tutorial fashion with numerous exercises. The course will cover methods of data acquisition, processing and interpretation. The participant learns the limits of seismic in terms of resolution but also the benefits in conjunction with wellbore, geological and reservoir information.
