Course content

6 sections • 11 lectures • 1h 33m total length

Introduction6:45
Explore best practices in 3D seismic data acquisition for onshore and offshore environments. Learn how to select 3D acquisition parameters using geological information to optimize design and cost.

2.1) Seismic Data and Elasticity9:02
Learn seismic data and elasticity by deriving the elastic wave equation in a uniform space, revealing p and s waves, and applying Hooke's law, and Snell's law for refraction.
2.2) Data Resolution and limitation7:50
Explore data resolution and limitations in seismic surveys, including vertical and lateral resolutions, resolvable limits, and how wavelength, velocity, and frequency determine detectability.

3.1) Why Three D needs Planning10:56
Plan 3D seismic projects to image targets and save costs. 3D demands planning due to higher costs, irregular geometry, and complex statics; address surface sampling interval and offsets.
3.2) Rocks Physical Properties4:11
Explore how rock porosity, permeability, density, and velocity shape seismic reflections and acoustic impedance, and demonstrate calculating reflection coefficients from velocity and density values with a practical example.
3.3) Seismic Data Acquisition6:46
Describe marine seismic data acquisition as a process where a boat pulls a streamer of hydrophones and uses airguns as the primary source, following CMP lines.
3.4) Seismic Acquisition Problem1:30
Investigate seismic data acquisition problems, including vibrator issues in Sabka and sand-dune areas, mud-related drill challenges, shallow-water work, and safety risks for the crew during shooting.
3.5) Sampling and Aliasing NV11:01
Explore how time and space data sampling affects seismic data, and how Nyquist theorem avoids aliasing by choosing appropriate sample rates, anti-aliasing filters, and understanding temporal and spatial frequencies.

Requirements

Participants have to know abut Seismic Data Acquisition It will be better for them to start with Seismic Data Acquisition course

Description

The participants will learn the most important terms of seismic 3D data techniques, followed by a deeper understanding of those terms. Delegates will learn how to select the 3D acquisition parameters in their own operations using the geological information and in different environments in order to achieve the full objectives of the 3D with optimum cost using the latest techniques and the most used formulas.

The course content focuses on optimization of the 3D design and the professional selection of seismic data parameters, The course covers the key theories to ensure optimum data quality, and these will be discussed along with practical examples in order to improve the participants’ skills when it comes to selecting the acquisition parameters. Delegates will learn how to select the acquisition parameters in their own operations and in different environments using the latest techniques, in Onshore, Offshore and transition zone,

The course is highlighting the main theoretical foundations and formulas, and the way to QC in each step, in order to improve the participants’ acquisition supervision skills, allowing in-depth discussions with the acquisition contractors and optimizing its parameters.
