The following pre-course notes are not intended to be comprehensive reviews of signal theory and traditional seismic interpretation. Their function is solely to cover, with the minimum possible discussion, the essential features which will be assumed to be know in the course. None of the course time will be spent on the material of these pre coure n…
Recent advances in seismic technology are providing the tools for accurate and effective delineation and quantification of hydrocarbon bearing strata. Llimits of resolution have been significantly reduced so that it is common to provide pay thickness maps at 10 foot contour levels from seismic data alone. In addition, it is possible to establish pos…
Recent advances in reflection seismic technology provide the interpreter with high quality data that can be used to interpret the assessment parameters of trap, reservoir, porosity, seal, presence of hydrocarbons, and the percent trap fill.
Structural interpretation provides the interpreter with the mai…
Application of seismic stratigraphic techniques is nowadays standard practice for interpreting seismic data sets. The advantage of seismic stratigraphy for geological studies lies in the fact that the method combines different scales of observation: large scale remote sensing seismic measurements and the high-resolution well control logging I outcro…
