Dear Professionals,
IPA decided to offer again the five-day course entitled "3-D Seismic Interpretation
Techniques" which will be held March 17-21, 2003 at the Shangri-La Hotel, Jakarta.
Cost per-person for this important and very popular course is US$ 1,200 for IPA
Members and US$ 1,300 for non IPA Members.
The course will be taught by Dr. Alistair Brown, a world renowned instructor and AAPG
distinguished lecturer. The instructor is also the author of the AAPG book
"Interpretation of Three-Dimensional Seismic Data". A copy of the latest edition of
this book will be provided to delegates as part of the course.
This course is designed to train the delegate in those techniques best suited to
interpretation of 3D data. Whether the data sets you use are field scale appraisal
and development work or more regional scale, large volume reconnaissance
interpretation, this course will help you optimize your interpretation.
The following topics will be covered in detail:
1. Introduction:
vertical seismic resolution, the two resolution limits, the seismic wavelet,
importance of amplitude and phase control, dynamic range, horizontal seismic
resolution, Fresnel zone, seismic migration, regularity and acquisition footprint.
2. Structural Interpretation:
slicing the cube, time (or depth) slices and their importance, fault handling,
contouring exercise, structural case histories, interpretable structural detail,
composite and volumetric displays, phase sections, subtle faults and their detection,
coherence, auto-tracking and its precision, time-derived horizon attributes, tracking
validation, generalized procedure, interpretation confidence.
3. Stratigraphic Interpretation:
recognition of characteristics shapes, importance of strike view, channels, bars,
dunes and carbonate features, resolution of depositional surfaces, stratigraphic
patterns to verify structure, unconformities, turbidite mapping exercise.
4. Color and phase:
limitations of conventional display, color principles, contrasting and gradational
color schemes, visibility of amplitude detail, recommended scales, recognition of zero
phaseness, definition of European and American polarity.
5. Reservoir Identification:
bright spots, dim spots, phase changes, flat spots and their necessary
characteristics, impact of color, amplitude and display scales, use of top and base
reflections and spatial relationships.
6. Reservoir Identification Continued:
tuning phenomena in reservoir reflections, importance of zero-phaseness and knowledge
of polarity, approach to validation, reservoir limits, occurrence of fluid effects,
reservoir identification exercise.
7. Attributes:
classification, amplitude-derived and frequency-derived horizon attributes, windowed
attributes, hybrid attributes, 3-D AVO.
8. Reservoir Evaluation:
properties affecting amplitude, interpretation regimes, well calibration, composite
amplitude, mapping of porosity, net-to-gross and net pay thickness, tuning estimation
and removal, pore volume, case histories.
In the past three years, this course was oversubscribed, and number of participants
will be limited to 24 people, so earliest registration is recommended to secure your
place on this course
