This five day Advanced Seismic Interpretation Course is designed for E&P professionals and aims to provide essential knowledge on visualization, integration, and interpretation techniques that have been recently developed for seismic data. This course assumes an advanced knowledge of seismic interpretation and concentrates on the role of the seismic interpreter in the search for oil and gas.

The course uses learning objectives that are aimed at knowledge and application levels, enabling participants to gain a solid understanding of the applications and role of the seismic interpreter in studies that involve post-stack seismic attributes, AVO, seismic sequence stratigraphy, seismic geomorphology, 4D time-lapse seismic and multidisciplinary integration.

Using recent and relevant case histories, data examples, and exercises, conducted both on paper and with the PETREL software, the course guides participants through an understanding of the integration of all available data into the seismic model that adds value in the needed coherent and successful seismic predictions that result from an interpretation.
