You will learn to identify Oil and Gas accumulations from Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators as observed on seismic using OpendTect. The techniques to highlight, map and characterize an accumulation will be explained step-by-step using real seismic data. You will be exposed to one of the most important stages of Hydrocarbon exploration workflows.
