In this Course the participants learn to apply various advance seismic methods to solve common problems in field exploration and development. Proper uses of advance seismic techniques can extract information from seismic data that is otherwise hidden and will enhance the capability of predicting, characterizing and monitoring hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Seismic attributes analysis is used for advance stratigraphy analysis in reservoir geometry delineation. Advance seismic inversion and AVO are used for reservoir properties description, fluid identification and fracture analysis. Time-lapsed and multicomponent techniques are used for reservoir monitoring and fracture analysis.

The combined techniques can assist in better definition of reservoir continuity and flow unit, their physical characteristics and distribution, and to aid the well delineation. Considering the unique seismic characteristics of carbonate reservoirs, specific
discussion on the application of the methods to carbonate reservoirs is also provided.

The Course comprises of approximately 40% theory and 60% practical exercises.
