Demystifying 4D Time-lapse Seismic
Consultant/Trainer: Jan Stammeijer
The Petrogenium (in collaboration with EPTS) Demystifying 4D Time-lapse Seismic participants will gain a clear understanding of the principles, applications, and value of 4D time-lapse seismic technology. Those with seismic interpretation experience will become confident in performing their own initial 4D interpretations in straightforward geological settings, while others will learn to effectively assess and apply 4D seismic results. The course will also enable subsurface practitioners and managers to initiate and manage 4D seismic projects, integrate time-lapse insights into reservoir management, and evaluate the business case and potential value of acquiring such data. In addition, participants will develop an appreciation of both the benefits and pitfalls of this powerful subsurface technology..
Participants
This Petrogenium course aims at all subsurface disciplines, well engineers, and team leaders. This Course aims to appeal to subsurface staff currently active in field development and reservoir management. For those interested in CCS, this course will also be useful given its focus on monitoring of subsurface dynamic effects, and the description of technologies enabling innovative and low-cost monitoring.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course participants will have a clear idea of what goes on in Geophysics and how Artificial Intelligence will impact the future of Geosciences. Interactive quizzes using “Mentimeter” are used to enhance the learning.
1. Estimating 4D seismic signal types and magnitudes
2. Understanding noise types and how to suppress these through choices in Acquisition and Processing
3. Extracting the various types of 4D attributes, understanding their benefits and limitations
4. Integrating the results and calibrating reservoir models into one or more 4D-consistent dynamic subsurface scenarios including uncertainties
5. Communicating results clearly and concisely as input for decision-making
6. Describing ongoing and expected technology developments and how these can better solve existing challenges
