Seismic Acquisition Field Techniques - Theory and Practice - SFT - In House Training

This in-house training programme can be customised to meet your specific requirements. It typically covers:

• Introduction: the value of information
• Fundamentals: review of basics in exploration seismology and related physics
• Borehole Seismics: sonic logs, synthetics, check-shot surveys, VSP and seismic while drilling
• Marine Seismic Survey Methods: terminology, streamer, explosive and implosive sources, marine vibroseis, marine 3D, multi-source, multi streamer, multi-vessel, wide azimuth methods, circular and coil shooting, ghosting, dual sensor techniques, ocean bottom station nodes, marine seismic parameters and designs, quality control
• Seismic Design Strategy: the geological database, the velocity function, optimum spread design, sample rates, fold, resolution, emergence and beaming, amplitude and spectral decays, non-hyperbolics, migration aperture, array designs, source receiver and recorder selection
• Field Tests and Parameter Optimization: acceptance tests, receiver optimization, the stack-array, impulsive source optimization, vibroseis optimization, sweep designs, redundancy, signal-to-noise, HPVA techniques, noise tests, noise classification, filtering, the dynamic range/resolution, the seismic scatter, scatter analyses, spectral analyses, repeatability studies
• 3D and 4D Concerns: marine and land 3D, binning, acquisition footprints, broad and narrow distribution of fold, azimuths and offset, crossequalization, migration stack fold, wide and narrow azimuth array designs
• Seismic Correction Issues: weathering corrections, datum corrections, uphole surveys, shallow refraction surveys, the half-intercept method, crossover velocity solution
• Cost-efficiency Issues: RFT preparation, bid evaluation, flexible-effort acquisition technique, on-site client representation
• Health Safety and the Environment: safety with explosives, vibroseis, drilling, heli-portable and fluvial operations, safety issues in rainforest, desert and arctic
