Course Description

Introduction

The purpose of the course is to introduce geoscientists to rock physics and seismic techniques as they are applied to characterize the reservoir. The course will cover various aspects of the delineation of reservoirs, determination of internal structure and estimation of reservoir physical parameters. We will look at the roll of seismic attributes, including amplitude variation with offset (AVO) attributes, in reservoir geophysics. We will also investigate elastic and petrophysical parameters and look at their application in time-lapse seismic. The course will also look at the application of seismic inversion in reservoir geophysics including stochastic inversion and measurements of uncertainty.

Objectives

Understand the principles of geophysical exploration and their relevance to reservoir characterization.

Gain practical experience in data acquisition and interpretation of geophysical surveys.

Learn about advanced techniques such as seismic inversion, time-lapse monitoring, and data integration.

Enhance decision-making skills for reservoir management and optimization.

Organisational Impact

Participants should be inspired to apply the techniques covered in this course in their day-to-day work.

Personal Impact

Participants can keep up to date on developments in reservoir characterization with seismic data.
