The course covers the assessment, quantification, and qualification of the seismic uncertainties in a systematic and technical manner in order to arrive at a risking scorecard.
The Seismic Uncertainty Evaluation (SUE) course is for intermediate to advanced geologists, geophysicists, and reservoir engineers in seismic depth uncertainty evaluation and also well planning. The course has evolved after a number of years of work experience in the sub-surface domain. A common question closely related to well planning is the quantification and qualification of depth uncertainty and robust estimation of the volumetric ranges, and this course addresses these topics. This course attempts to demystify the black-box approach in velocity analytics, depth conversion, and approaches to uncertainty estimations.
The course covers the assessment, quantification, and qualification of the seismic uncertainties in a systematic and technical manner in order to arrive at a risking scorecard.
This course is very popular among interpreters in supporting a phased approach to ensure seismic and interpretation leading to a successful well placement.
Duration: 16 Hours
Intended Audience
Prerequisites (Knowledge/Experience/Education required)
Geoscientists and engineers, especially seismic interpreters, and anyone who needs to understand the basic theory and procedures for assessment/ quantification/qualification of all drill-ready products (seismic, faults, horizons, etc.).
Who should attend?
Geologists, geophysicists, and reservoir engineers engaged in producing a Drill Ready Seismic (DRS) product from seismic interpretations, as well as technical management and other subsurface professionals involved in well planning and decision making. Those with less experience will benefit from the practical lectures and workingexamples, while those with greater experience will benefit from the case studies and assurances on decision making.
Course Outline
- Define a structured approach toward seismic depth uncertainty analysis
- Construct data analytics on seismic products (well logs, velocities, and seismic)
- Classify advance vertical ray tomography on FWI models to assure a drill ready depth seismic, faults, surfaces, and logs
- Interpret probabilistic volumetric and automatic spill point control, amplitude conformance closures
- De-risk the depth uncertainty by providing drilling and completion with a risking score card
