Course leaders: Dr Gary Kirby

Corporate objectives:

To enable participants to:

• have a working knowledge of the principles behind the method, and of the associated terminology
• know how to transfer geology from borehole logs to seismic sections
• be able to recognise and interpret a variety of structural and stratigraphic features and to distinguish between geological features and geophysical artefacts
• be able to interpret a grid of seismic data, incorporating other surface and subsurface data, to produce a structural map of a given stratigraphic level.

Who should attend:

Geoscientists who wish or need to become acquainted with the seismic reflection method.

Course description:

The emphasis in on giving participants 'hands on' experience via a series of practical exercises that increase in complexity as the course progresses. This is combined with formal instruction.

Course outline:

• introduction
• seismic reflection theory
• geology and the seismic section
• interpretation procedures
• mapping exercises

Duration of course: 5 days
