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. Practical sessions allow for experience to be gained using an
Interpretation workstation. Participants will actively carry out various tasks including

- QC data using different tools provided
- Horizon picking
- Generation of horizon maps
- Velocity picking
- Interpretation


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