This Petrogenium course aims at Geologists, geophysicists, petroleum and reservoir engineers, involved in exploration and development of hydrocarbon fields. That means not only those involved in the production side but also geoscientists designing the acquisition of seismicandnon-seismic data needed for Quantitative Interpretation.

At the end of the course participants will have a solid foundation in Seismic Quantitative Interpretation. The aim of the course is to provide a solid conceptual understanding without going into mathematical detail. It uses a mixture of lectures, practical exercises and direct (workshop-like) participant involvement, complemented with case histories. Use of laptops for exercises and WIFI internet access in the classroom is mandatory.
