| Study Material | Depth |
|---|---|
| Introduction: Petroleum system, types of oil traps, seismic acquisition at a glance Basic Theory of Seismic Reflection: -Definition , types & properties of waves, Snell's Law, wave travel time, wavelets, noise, Huygen's Principle, diffraction | |
| Seismic data processing: - Sort and gather - Pre-processing, filter: single channel (shaping, bandpass, inverse Q etc.) - Use of isotopes - Host rock kerogen data interpretation exercise & assignment - Filters: multi-channel (F-K, fan), static correction (field & residual) - Deconvolution (predictive, spiking, zero-phase) - Speed analysis - Normal move out and stack - Migration (Kirchhoff sumation, F-K, finite difference Pre-stack migration) | |
| Seismic Stratigraphy: - Purpose, procedure, reflection attributes (frequency, slope, amplitude,) - Seismic facies analysis - Seismic facies mapping: internal & external configuration (toplap, downlap, onlap etc.), seismic facies characterization | |
| Seismic interpretation: - Interpretation in clastic areas recognizing channel shapes, fans, sidelobes, reflection patterns, upper and lower boundaries - Carbonate seismic interpretation of reflection configurations, diag-nostic attributes on carbonate seismic data, analysis of carbonate environment Amplitude Versus Offset, seismic inversion, attributes seismic |
