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.
