Course Objectives:

• Clearly understand how hydrocarbons affect the seismic image
• Use direct hydrocarbon indicators and AVO in the assessment of projects
• Understand the limits of seismic resolution
• Integrate these technologies into an interpretation project
• Better understand the nature of the seismic image as it relates to hydrocarbons
• Utilize the information available in the literature from experts in this rapidly developing part of seismic imaging

Course Outlines:

• Seismic fundamentals as they relate to defining the appearance of hydrocarbons in The data
• AVO and how it relates to the typical production zones around the world with various ages and depths of burial
  • Various methods of displaying AVO effects in the seismic data
  • Acquisition and processing considerations to display hydrocarbons as a pore filling material
  • Various approaches to seismic modeling and fluid replacement
  • Rock properties and pore filling material from seismic inversion
• Spectral decomposition and seismic attributes as other ways of extracting reservoir information from the seismic image

Who Can Benefit?

• Geophysicists, geologists, explorationists, seismic interpreters, technical support personnel, seismic data processors, exploration, production, and acquisition managers, who need a clear understanding of the details of implementation and application of this technology
