GEOS 5863 - Seismic Interpretation |
Prerequisites: GEOS 3434, GEOS 3533, GEOS 5433, PHYS 1244 or 2644, MATH 1734; or the consent of the instructor. This course focuses on the examination of reflection seismic interpretation method while emphasizing petroleum exploration. Seismic interpretation is aimed at extracting subsurface geologic information from seismic data, resolving subsurface structure. The students will use basic theoretical background knowledge to achieve practical skills in performing amplitude versus offset/angle analysis. The course addresses both the geological record and drill-hole record, numerical models, seismic data acquisition, and wavelet extraction. The course focuses on sequence stratigraphy, seismic attribute interpretation, fracture analysis, seismic inversion, and noise identification. Laboratory sessions reinforce lecture topics through descriptive, hands-on interpretation. 0.000 OR 3.000 Credit hours 0.000 OR 3.000 Lecture hours 0.000 OR 1.000 Lab hours Levels: Graduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Lecture Geosciences Department Course Attributes: COSME Instructnal Enhance Fee, Course Exempt from 3-peat rule Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Graduate Prerequisites: PREQ for GEOS 5863: General Requirements: Course or Test: GEOS 3434 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. and Course or Test: GEOS 3533 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. and Course or Test: GEOS 5433 Minimum Grade of C May not be taken concurrently. and Course or Test: MATH 1734 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. and Course or Test: PHYS 1244 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. or Course or Test: PHYS 2644 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. |
