📘 Seismic Structural Interpretation Techniques

🔎 Course Description

This advanced course develops participants’ skills in interpreting seismic data for structural geology applications. Covering fault interpretation, fold analysis, trap identification, and integration with well and geological data, the course enables professionals to build structurally sound subsurface models for exploration and development projects. Practical sessions will emphasize reducing uncertainties in structural mapping and risk assessment.

🎯 Learning Objectives

✅ Identify and map structural features on 2D and 3D seismic data
✅ Apply seismic attribute tools to enhance structural interpretation
✅ Integrate seismic with well and geological data for accurate models
