MAXIMISE THE VALUE OF YOUR SEISMIC DATA
Acquiring, reprocessing or inverting seismic data are expensive processes. Rock physics analyses can maximise the value of your existing data, allowing you to de-risk amplitude driven prospects and make more informed decisions about future investments. Rock physics can also be used to support the Energy Transition, providing a set of workflows essential for screening and monitoring CCS sites.
ESSENTIALS OF ROCK PHYSICS AND SEISMIC AMPLITUDE INTERPRETATION
Delivered in partnership with RPA, Merlin proudly offer Rob Simm’s original Essentials of Rock Physics and Seismic Amplitude Interpretation course. This non-software specific course has been helping geoscientists to understand the practical aspects of rock physics techniques since 1999.
Content is delivered via a mixture of presentations and interactive learning through worked (MS Excel based) exercises.
8 X half day modules
- Fundamentals, rock properties and AVO.
- Seismic interpretation using rock physics and AVO.
- Wavelets and well ties.
- Rock physics inputs, Gassmann’s equation and seismic modelling.
- Rock characterisation.
- AVO analysis.
- Rock properties from seismic.
- Seismic inversion and rock physics risking.
Tailored to your needs
Not everyone has the time or the requirement to cover the material of the full course.
For this reason, Merlin also offer shorter courses with a flexible arrangement of modules, on demand.
Virtual delivery is available worldwide. In-person delivery is subject to consideration. Please enquire below:
