Subsurface Mapping of Petroleum Reservoirs ((4))

Catalog description

This class will cover the use of well data and base maps entered into software to conduct a subsurface geological interpretation of a project in which the data have already been entered. After that, raw data will be supplied from which projects must be built and interpreted. Types of seismic data will then be reviewed and incorporated into the course project. Thereafter, the same sequence will be followed with respect to projects with already loaded data and then projects begun from scratch, this time incorporating seismic data. The software used for the well data part of the class is IHS Petra. For the seismic part of the class, Schlumberger's Petrel software will be used. A field trip may be required. 150 minutes of lecture and 150 minutes of laboratory per week. GEOL 4060 recommended. A course fee is required.
