This course is designed to provide basic background for the processing of digital seismic data, particularly used by petroleum industry. The course includes seismic methods in applied exploration geophysics emphasizing interpretation theory, including inversion techniques and constraining solutions by incorporating a priori geological information. Principles and methods in petroleum seismology, with emphasis on exploring and characterizing petroleum reservoirs, will be studied by using seismic methods. The emphasis is placed on the principles and practicality of the major processing methods, including sampling, filtering, deconvolution, seismic modeling and migration imaging. The general technical issues in exploring petroleum reservoirs using seismic method, such as in assessing the suitability of using seismic reflection method for petroleum reservoirs will be identified in the course.
