Introduction

This intensive 5-day program is designed to equip participants with essential skills for interpreting seismic data, a cornerstone in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. Through a blend of theoretical insights, practical exercises, and real-world case studies, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of seismic interpretation techniques.

Objective

This course aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and techniques involved in seismic interpretation. By the end of the program, participants will:

• Grasp the Basics of Seismic Exploration
• Master Seismic Data Processing and Imaging
• Develop Skills in Structural Interpretation
• Excel in Stratigraphic Interpretation
• Explore Advanced Seismic Interpretation Techniques
• Apply Knowledge through Practical Exercises and Case Studies
• Enhance Problem-Solving and Decision-Making Skills
• Promote Collaboration and Communication

Gain Confidence in Seismic Interpretation Competencies

Audience

The target audience includes but not limited to:

• Geoscientists
• Petroleum Engineers:
• Exploration and Production Teams
• Energy Industry Professionals
• Graduate Students and Researchers
• Oil and Gas Managers

Certificate

TRAINIT ACADEMY will award an internationally recognized certificate(s) for each delegate on completion of training.

Methodology

The training course will be highly participatory and the course leader will present, guide and facilitate learning, using a range of methods including formal presentation, discussions, sector-specific case studies and exercises.  Above all, the course leader will make extensive use of real-life case examples in which he has been personally involved. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences.  Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

• 30% Lectures
