Rift Basin Seismic Interpretation Training

Overview

🎯 Course Description:

This advanced course is designed to equip geoscientists with in-depth knowledge of seismic interpretation and basin evolution specific to rift basin systems. The course emphasizes understanding structural styles, tectono-stratigraphic evolution, fault kinematics, depositional systems, and petroleum systems in extensional tectonic settings. Using real-world case studies and hands-on seismic interpretation exercises, participants will learn how to interpret rift basin architecture and evaluate hydrocarbon prospectivity from a tectono-stratigraphic perspective.

The Rift Basin Seismic Interpretation Course provides geoscientists with practical skills to analyze rift structures, tectono-stratigraphy, and hydrocarbon systems. Through real seismic examples, this course emphasizes hands-on techniques and modern workflows for effective rift basin seismic interpretation in exploration projects.
