NGEA09047U Interpretation of Reflection Seismic and Wireline Log Data

Knowledge:

• reflection seismics and theoretical and practical aspects of reflection seismic interpretation
• wireline log - theoretical and practical aspects of interpretation,
• integrated interpretation of digital seismic and wireline data

Skills:

• demonstrate an overview of the potential of reflection seismic interpretation to studies of the Earth interior at all depth scales
• integrate reflection seismic data and wireline log data in a joint interpretation
• construct depth- and iso-pach map.

Competences:

Upon completion of the course, students should be able to

• understand and work with reflection seismic methods, including seismic and sequence stratigraphy
• lithospheric reflections, interpretation of seismic surveys by loop interpretation, pitfalls in seismic interpretation, attribute analysis, and construction of depth and iso-core maps
• understand the principles of interpreting standard wireline logs, including the widely used types of wireline logs, lithology reconstruction from logs, and electrosequence analysis and sequence analysis
• demonstrate full understanding of the integration the two methods, construction of depth- and iso-pach maps, and the ability to describe the geological evolution of a study area
• give an overview of the potential of reflection seismic interpretation to studies of the Earth interior at all depth scales.
