Course objectives: Students shall develop basic knowledge and skills within seismic reflection data interpretation and their correlation to well logging data, as necessary to understand the subsurface relationships and to delineate reservoirs.

Course content: 

• Theoretical knowledge about seismic reflections from geological boundaries;
• Seismic acquisition and processing principles of 2D and 3D seismic data;
• Well logging data acquisition and seismic-well tie;
• Vertical and horizontal resolution of seismic data;
• Direct hydrocarbon indicators;
• Basic seismic interpretation techniques;
• Map generation;
• Time to depth conversion;
• Fundamental seismic attributes.

Learning outcomes at the level of the course:

• Explain fundamental aspects of seismic wave propagation;
• Make interpretations of the more common well logging measurements;
• Correlate the results of different logging measurements;
• Perform well-seismic ties;
• Construct synthetic seismograms;
• Construct 3D surface based on well logging and seismic data.
