The many choices risk factors that come into play while successfully acquiring data of optimal value for E&P. Around the world we are in an age of increasingly more stringent challenges for seismic acquisition to meet regulatory requirements. Meanwhile, the acquisition of geophysical data has become increasingly more diverse, with a broad range of operational practices technologies utilized. Regulatory environmental issues are assuming a key driving role in seismic source design, in source strength, in footprint/impact of surveys, other ways. To meet evolving requirements, creative new technologies practices will be needed. There are a number of highlights in current seismic acquisition technology trends: There is an ongoing trend to more channels, with evolution towards point source receivers. There are numerous nodal cabled recording systems available for various deployments onshore, in Transition Zones, on the water bottom. Vibrators have improved low high frequency outputs, distortion is much reduced. High productivity Vibroseis surveys utilize various sweep coding techniques for simultaneous sources. Ocean Bottom Seismic can be acquired in a number of different ways, with efficient hling of cables nodes, including operations in very deep water. Marine streamer surveys include techniques with dual sensors varying depths to improve low frequencies, suppress multiples, operate in difficult sea conditions. Vessel capacity streamer counts have grown, data can be re-constructed between streamers with dual sensors. Streamer steering enhanced 4-D repeatability is improved. Wide azimuth multi-vessel geometries, circular/coil geometries enable imaging of extreme structure. Utilization of buried arrays, Permanent Reservoir Monitoring, 4-D surveys continues to grow. Micro-seismic monitoring of frac ing is routinely done with downhole /or surface recording. There is also a growing need to monitor induced seismicity. Fiber optic sensing including Distributed Acoustic Sensing is being deployed.

It is not a tool exclusive to geophysicists; nor is it a tool only for geologists. Seismic stratigraphic techniques are based upon an integration of firm, well-established geological geophysical fundamentals. When properly applied, seismic stratigraphy provides a powerful foundation for geohistory analysis, helping describe a basin s evolution the resulting effects upon its spatial temporal variation in hydrocarbon potential. Seismic stratigraphy chronostratigraphically constrains both the sedimentological fault-mechanical stratigraphy of a basin. Furthermore, it can provide a predictive model extrapolated beyond the borehole as to aspects of the quality of potential reservoirs seals, their sedimentary environments of deposition, in some cases, even their paragenesis. In this rigorous workshop, pragmatically the seismic stratigraphic method to optimizing their exploration efforts by working in teams on projects selected from diverse settings around the world. Areas for the projects include borehole-constrained seismic data drawn from such regions as the Alaska North Slope, Gulf of Mexico, Red Sea, Southeast Asia, South America Western Africa.

Evaluate exploit attribute expressions for different depositional environments to better characterize reservoirs by adopting appropriate workflows multi-attribute tools. Identify geological features highlighted by attributes, limitations to seismic processing through attributes that may result in smeared attribute images from multi-azimuth multi-offset data, limits of attribute analysis on data that have been poorly imaged good bad color display practices. The primary objective of this course is to gain an intuitive understing of the kinds of seismic features that can be identified by 3D seismic attributes, the sensitivity of seismic attributes to seismic acquisition processing, of how independent seismic attributes can are coupled through geology. We will also discuss alternative workflows using seismic attributes for reservoir characterization as implemented by modern commercial software practiced by interpretation service companies. Participant discussion centered around case studies, attribute recipes for particular objectives, reservoir workflows seismic attribute jeopardy exercises will be the main focus of the course.

For all practical purposes it closely resembles the freshman level course that a non-science major at a university would take to satisfy the science requirement. Presentation is oriented toward topics of interest to the petroleum industry. While high school chemistry physics might help in understing a very few selected topics, the course is designed for those with no technical training ( those who studiously avoided science in school). Primary objectives of the course are to broaden your geological vocabulary, explain selected geological principles processes, describe how certain petroleum reservoirs source rocks are formed. If you have had a geology course at the university level remember most of it, this course is not for you. If you have had a geology course don t remember much of it, then consider this course for a refresher. If you are an engineer, geophysicist, petrophysicist, geotech, lawyer, or financial analyst dealing with geologists don t underst the geological terms used in discussions /or do not know the characteristics of a point bar, barrier isl, channel-levee complex, or some other reservoir, then this course may be for you.

Identify stratigraphic sequences Interpret seismic reflection geometries Relate sequence stratigraphy to basin architecture, relative sea levels history Build predictive stratigraphic model Sequence stratigraphy, based on sedimentary response to changes in relative sea level gives the explorationist the development geoscientist a powerful new predictive tool for regional basin analysis, shelf to basin correlation reservoir heterogeneity. Perhaps most importantly, sequence stratigraphy gives the geoscientist a superior framework for the integration of geologic, geophysical engineering data expertise. We will develop the basic concepts of sequence stratigraphy such as the integration of eustasy tectonic subsidence which gives rise to the basic cycle hierarchy that can be observed in the geologic record. Using these basic concepts we will build a general predictive stratigraphic model emphasizing the petroleum system particularly stressing shelf to basin correlation.
