Geophysics for Non Geophysicist

The overall objective is to introduce E&P professionals from disciplines other than Geophysics to

the key concepts and principles that form the basis for value added geophysical/ seismic applications in exploration, field appraisal, and reservoir management. Learning objectives shall be limited to basic awareness to knowledge levels, with particular emphasis on practical understanding of seismic acquisition, processing, imaging, interpretation and extraction of geological and petro-physical information. Data examples, exercises, and workshops are used to illustrate key concepts, practical issues, and pitfalls as they affect the application of seismic data and information in E&P workflows. The practical aspects of seismic interpretation are covered with examples that involve seismic structural mapping, stratigraphic analysis, and amplitude methods.

This course is intended for newly graduated geoscientists, geologists, reservoir or petroleum engineers and other E&P staff who need an overview of seismic/ geophysics techniques and applications. The participants do not need to have any knowledge in the basics of geophysics and seismic methods.

What you will gain

• A clear understanding of the main geophysical seismic techniques used in Petroleum exploration and development.

• Knowledge of the main non-seismic geophysical techniques ...etc.

• A comprehensive knowledge of the Reflection Principles and Resolution. A good knowledge on the new acquisition and processing techniques.

• Knowledge of the main use of seismic data techniques and their limitations.

• Expand participants’ knowledge in the field of seismic industry and its applications as related to their respective industries.
