🎯 Practical AVO & Seismic Inversion

Overview

🌟 Course Description

This intensive course equips participants with the theoretical background and practical skills needed to perform AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) analysis and seismic inversion for reservoir characterization. Through step-by-step workflows, participants learn how to integrate rock physics, interpret seismic amplitudes, perform AVO attribute analysis, and apply deterministic and stochastic inversion methods to predict lithology and fluid content. Real case studies illustrate the application of these tools in exploration and field development.
