Seismic Interpretation and Mapping
Consultant/Trainer: Maarten Wiemer/Gerhard Diephuis
The Petrogenium (in collaboration with EPTS) Seismic Interpretation and Mapping course participants will gain a deeper understanding of the geological and geophysical principles behind seismic interpretation, moving beyond automated mapping to develop more robust and conceptually sound prospect evaluations. They will learn how to integrate geological reasoning into their interpretation workflows, enabling them to identify and avoid common pitfalls that can compromise the reliability of prospect mapping.
Participants
This Petrogenium course is designed for senior geoscientists with (ca. 6-8 years’ work experience) in geoscience fields and well-versed in seismic interpretation projects.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be exposed to hands-on extraction of geological and geophysical information from variable data types and integration of this information in order to produce a consistent subsurface model to support their work at regional, prospect or reservoir scale. “Let the data tell their story” is the key learning theme in this course.
