Advanced Seismic Analysis of Stratigraphic Sequences

12-02-2024 - 16-02-2024 4200 $ Cairo

Course Introduction:

 

Seismic stratigraphy is a powerful tool for exploration and exploitation, especially when the rock-fluid information within the seismic wavelet (reflection character analysis) is integrated with the lithofacies-stratigraphic information, which is determined from reflection group geometry (sequence analysis). The methods used in this course do not rely upon either cosmetic processing or interpretation as an art; instead, practical methods of seismic stratigraphy are employed as a science, based upon firm, tested principles that are applied to a spectrum of tectonic structural styles and depositional environments.

 

This rigorous, five-day course is a problem-oriented, hands-on workshop including significant group discussion and presentation. Participants learn how to make seismic modeling-interpretation judgments as a basis for seismic-facies and reflection character analysis. Case studies for exploration and development incorporate 2D and 3D seismic data with well data selected from around the world. Each participant should bring a hand-held calculator to class.

 

Course Objectives:

 

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

  • Evaluate rock-fluid information from wavelet analysis (frequency, velocity, Q. seismic attributes, and AVO)
  • Understand the strengths and weaknesses of geovalidation using and misusing synthetics, seismic inversion, and VSP
  • Determine fault mechanical stratigraphy through proper interpretation of fault imaging
  • Understand the differences, weaknesses, and strengths of both the Vail with the Galloway sequence paradigms and when to optimally employ them
  • Develop sea level curves from micropaleontology
  • Construct detailed seismic facies maps and understand their relationship to Walter's law
  • Classify deltas based upon their seismic characteristics
  • Differentiate basin floor fan facies and parasequence sets
  • Interpret clastic and carbonate depositional system responses to allocyclic and autocyclic processes and the effects upon reservoir architecture and seal potential
  • Optimally interpret parasequence set fairways for exploration
  • Geophysically characterize reservoirs for optimizing development
