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.
