The course "Applied Oil and Gas Seismic Data Analysis and Advanced Interpretation" aims to develop students' skills in analyzing seismic data for the purpose of identifying subsurface structures and potential hydrocarbon reservoirs. Students will learn various techniques such as seismic data processing, imaging, attribute analysis, and interpretation workflows. The course will also cover advanced interpretation methods, including seismic stratigraphy, amplitude analysis, and AVO analysis, to enhance reservoir characterization and exploration outcomes.
