Seismic Reservoir characterization
This comprehensive course provides oil and gas professionals with the knowledge and skills to utilize seismic data for detailed reservoir characterization. It covers key concepts, methodologies, and applications essential for improved hydrocarbon detection and reservoir evaluation.
Description
The purpose of this 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 role of seismic attributes, including amplitude variation with offset (AVO) attributes, in reservoir characterization. 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.
Seismic reservoir characterization has become a vital tool in modern petroleum exploration and development. By integrating seismic data with geological and petrophysical inputs, professionals can gain a deeper understanding of reservoir architecture, heterogeneity, and fluid distribution. This course equips participants with both theoretical knowledge and applied skills to conduct effective seismic reservoir studies and support better field development strategies.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Understand the principles of seismic reservoir characterization.
-
Apply seismic attributes to identify reservoir features.
-
Perform AVO analysis and seismic inversion techniques.
-
Integrate seismic data with well logs and geological models.
-
Reduce uncertainty in reservoir interpretation and decision-making.
-
Interpret case studies and real field data for practical insights.
This course combines engaging lectures, interactive discussions, and hands-on exercises. Real-world examples, case studies, and practical workflows using industry-standard software will enhance learning and ensure practical understanding. Participants will be encouraged to analyze and interpret seismic datasets to apply what they learn immediately.
Participants should be inspired to apply the techniques covered in this course in their day-to-day work
