Geophysical Data Acquisition and Processing
Consultant/Trainer: Gerhard Diephuis/Jaap Mondt
The Petrogenium (in collaboration with EPTS) Geophysical Data Acquisition and Processing (Basic Geophysics) course will provide participants with a foundation in how geophysical technology is used to image the subsurface for applications such as hydrocarbon, mineral, and groundwater exploration, as well as environmental monitoring and site clean-up. They learn the fundamentals of major methods including seismic refraction and reflection, gravity, magnetic, electrical, and electromagnetic techniques, and how these are applied in practice. In addition, they develop practical skills in modern data acquisition and processing by working through mainly Excel-based exercises that apply the theory rather than focusing only on textbook material.

Participants
This Petrogenium course aims at Geologists, Geophysicists and Petroleum engineers, involved in exploration and development of oil and gas fields and for those involved in projects related to the shallow subsurface. In addition, it would be useful for those dealing with the (geo)physical effects of production of a field.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course, participants will have a good understanding of the fundamental concepts in geophysical exploration. With that foundation they will be able to better grasp the potential of seismic data in terms of interpretation value and liaise and collaborate with experts in the fields of seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation.
