Duration

Two days.

Description

This course is intended for new and existing Tigress users who are involved in geophysical interpretation. We first teach trainees how to generate synthetic seismograms to tie the geological interpretation to the seismic data. We then cover 2D and 3D horizon and fault interpretation, together with manipulation of the final interpretations and subsequent display in 3D.

Applications

The following applications are covered in the course:

  • Well Log Processing
  • Geophysics Interpretation.

Prerequisites

Familiarity with using Unix/Linux workstations for seismic interpretation is an advantage.

Format

Demonstrations, lectures and user exercises.

Objectives

On completion of the course, trainees will be able to:

  • enter checkshot data and calibrate it against velocity
  • calculate a synthetic seismogram
  • display basemaps
  • display geological data on the seismic section
  • pick horizons and faults on single and overlapping surveys
  • perform 2D mistie analysis
  • create new colour ramps
  • calculate horizon dip, azimuth and amplitude
  • export seismic horizons and faults to mapping
  • display horizons, faults and wells in 3D.
