Seismic Facies Analysis and Sequence Stratigraphy – Getting more geology out of your seismic data
Course Summary: Getting the most information from available seismic data is a key task for a successful oil and gas company. This course has been designed to teach a detailed understanding of seismic facies and sequence stratigraphy analysis, incredibly valuable tools for maximising returns when conducting play to prospect mapping and reservoir development. It focuses on interpretation of facies from seismic and logs as well as the application of sequence stratigraphic models to real data.
Who Should Take the Course: This course has been created for geoscientists with a working knowledge of seismic facies & sequence stratigraphic analysis who want to take their expertise to the next level.
Course Price: $4170 / £3080
