Advanced Onboard Processing

Audience

Processing geophysicists having a basic knowledge and experience of onboard processing who wish to delve deeper and improve practice and awareness.

Content:

The course covers various aspects of seismic processing including SEG-D, and SEG-Y formats, and their generation, reformatting, quality controls for archive material.

Interactive tools are explored. Practice is gained with an Interpretation Workstation to QC data, horizon-picking and generation of horizon maps, plus velocity-picking.

The theory and practice of 3D SRME by conventional modelling methodology is covered. Bin centering and regularization are presented together with the workflows.

Learning Objectives

• Understand SEG-D and SEG-Y formats and the importance of Quality Control
• Ability to QC data, pick horizons and velocities using an Interpretation Workstation
• Be familiar with the methods used to regularize the trace distribution
• Understand 3D SRME principles and methodology of convolutional modeling
