About this Training
This 5-day course provides a comprehensive overview of depth conversion and depth imaging for seismic interpreters. The first part of the course focuses on the fundamentals of depth conversion, including understanding velocity fields, practical velocity representation methods, and appropriate depth conversion techniques. Participants will learn how to perform basic and advanced depth conversions, quantify depth conversion uncertainty, and integrate well and seismic data to ensure reliable results.
The second part of the course delves into the theory and practical implementation of prestack depth imaging. Participants will gain an intuitive understanding of the differences between time and depth migration, the various depth migration algorithms, and the critical quality control steps required to ensure stable velocity solutions and geologically reasonable results. Topics covered include parameter selection for depth migration, tomographic velocity analysis, and full waveform inversion.
Throughout the course, participants will engage in exercises and case studies to reinforce the concepts and methods presented. By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively design, guide, and quality control depth imaging projects in a variety of geological settings. They will also learn how to leverage depth imaging outputs, such as seismic attributes and well-seismic calibration, to enhance their interpretations and mitigate risks.
