Seismic course

:Course Objective

1-      How To Understand the seismic process, interpret seismic sections, develop a geologic model, and prepare maps

2-      Relate the subsurface stratigraphy to well data

3-      Identify different structural styles from seismic data

4-      Create a basic stratigraphic framework using seismic stratigraphy

Who should attend?

Geologists, geophysicists, workers in geology department and engineers who want to use seismic data for petroleum exploration and/or production. Familiarity with geological terminology will be helpful.
