ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE  Seismic interpretation requires an understanding of structural development and its interrelation with the stratigraphic system. Bias and misunderstanding have unfortunately resulted in countless dry holes. So go beyond tracing horizons and understand their context within the structural system by extracting key information from seismic surveys and other datasets. In this 5 full-day training course, participants will learn a variety of modern structural concepts and techniques and their role in the interpretation of seismic data. Using an applied 'hands-on' approach, participants will be exposed to a diversity of worldwide case examples with complementary exercises - both of an individual and group nature. The course is designed from an applied standpoint, with numerous examples and hands-on exercises from the petroleum industry. This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format. Training Objectives By the end of this course, the participants will be able to: * Go beyond tracing horizons and marking faults and truly understand the structural and stratigraphic system. * Understand the role of tectonics and deformation in the formation of various types and orientations of geologic structures. * Understand the interaction of the structural system with the stratigraphic and sedimentologic environment for better prediction of reservoir formation. * Integrate data from the large seismic scale to subseismic scale, including seismic anisotropy, to understand better the overall petroleum system. * Learn about the common pitfalls of interpretation. Target Audience This course is intended for geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, and exploration/production managers.
