COURSE OVERVIEW:

Seismic reservoir analysis focuses on the quantitative extraction of physical rock properties and fluid characteristics from seismic data. This course moves beyond basic structural mapping to explore the inner workings of the reservoir, utilizing seismic amplitudes and phase information to delineate net-to-gross, porosity, and fluid saturation. Participants will learn how to integrate geophysical data with petrophysical and engineering datasets to create a more holistic view of the subsurface.

The scope of this course includes the application of seismic inversion, attribute analysis, and rock physics to characterize both clastic and carbonate reservoirs. We will examine the workflows necessary to transform seismic reflections into volumetric models of reservoir quality. By emphasizing the link between seismic signatures and geological facies, the training provides geoscientists with the skills to identify the most productive zones within a field and optimize well placement.

Coverage extends to the analysis of 3D seismic volumes for compartmentalization and connectivity studies. We will discuss how seismic data can be used to monitor reservoir changes over time and how it informs the dynamic simulation models used by engineers. This course is essential for technical professionals who need to move from "where the reservoir is" to "how the reservoir behaves," ensuring maximum recovery and efficient field management.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Integrate seismic, well log, and core data for comprehensive reservoir characterization.
• Apply rock physics templates to identify lithology and fluid trends.
• Utilize seismic inversion techniques to derive acoustic and elastic impedance.
• Interpret seismic attributes for the identification of reservoir heterogeneities.
• Map reservoir thickness and net-pay using amplitude-based workflows.
• Evaluate the impact of porosity and clay content on seismic signatures.
• Perform seismic facies classification to delineate depositional environments.
• Assess reservoir compartmentalization using coherence and spectral decomposition.
• Link seismic observations to reservoir engineering parameters like permeability.
• Use AVO analysis as a tool for reservoir fluid discrimination.
• Quantify the uncertainty in seismic-derived reservoir property maps.
• Design workflows for integrating seismic data into static and dynamic models.
• Communicate reservoir potential and risks to multidisciplinary project teams.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Reservoir Geologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicists, and Reservoir Engineers involved in field appraisal and development.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
