Course description
This course will provide background knowledge and practical skills of seismic data analysis for Geophysicists. The focus is on the principles and practicality of the most common signal analysis methods, including Fourier methods, deconvolution, velocity analysis, and seismic subsurface imaging.
Who Should Take this Course?
Students in geophysics and employees of the petroleum industry, particularly processors and interpreters who deal with data processing issues, as well as anyone who is interested in learning geophysical data processing.
Course outline
This course will be delivered following selected chapters of Prof. Liner's book titled "Elements of 3D Seismology, 2nd Edition". The chapters are:
- Waves: - General properties of waves - Understanding seismic events - Digital data processing sequence - Waves in fluids, solids, and porous solids
- Acquisition: - 2D Land acquisition - Survey predesign - 3D shooting geometry
- Data Processing: - Processing and binning overview - Computers and limitations - Creating the CMP stack
- Imaging: - Migration concepts - Classification and velocity analysis - Topics chosen by students
