Develop measurable skills and capabilities
The course is designed to familiarize the student with the latest developments in conventional 3D Marine towed streamer seismic acquisition before moving on to cover the more recent developments in: Wide-Azimuth towed streamer; Broadband techniques (boosting the high and low frequencies); Seabed receivers for both P-wave and Converted-wave recording; Time-Lapse surveys and the emerging technology of Simultaneous Source acquisition. Learning is supported through numerous case histories that illustrate the value of each acquisition technique. Central to the success of these techniques is how the surveys are designed to deliver fit-for-purpose data in a cost-effective manner.
In the second half of the course the students are taken through the principles of survey design. Learning is supported via hands-on practice where participants work together to design solutions to typical survey objectives and challenges.
At the end of the course, students will be familiar with: all current and emerging marine seismic acquisition technology and techniques; the principles and workflows employed to design marine seismic surveys; how to make a “first-pass” assessment of whether a proposed survey design will be successful; and how and what to recommend as further areas of investigation if required.
Marine Seismic Acquisition
Learning objectives: Understand how conventional marine seismic acquisition techniques have developed over the last 10 years. Understand the limitations of conventional towed streamer seismic acquisition. Understand the economics and cost-benefit of new “advanced” marine seismic acquisition techniques. Appreciate the potential improvements in data quality and the interpretational benefits of the new techniques. Understand why, where and when the new techniques are applicable
Day 2Marine Seismic Acquisition
Learning objectives: Understand how broadband data improves resolution. Understand the importance of low frequencies and how they can be obtained in the field. Understand the importance of repeatability and how it may be obtained in 4D acquisition. Understand how and when simultaneous source acquisition can be used to deliver improved data quality and/or more efficient operations
Day 3Survey Design
Learning objectives: Understand how the objectives of a new 3D survey are met by overcoming geophysical challenges. Understand the use of existing data in a survey design workflow. Understand what constitutes a viable earth model for 1D and 3D seismic modeling. Understand the different types of resolution in seismic data required for successful interpretation and reservoir characterization. Understand the sampling requirements in seismic acquisition for subsequent processing and interpretation of results.
Day 4Survey Design
Learning objectives: Understand how to determine the basic acquisition geometry using a few simple equations. Understand the choices and limitations of seismic source options. Recognize when subsurface complexity requires the use of 3D raytracing. Continue to work on survey design exercise.
Day 5Survey Design
Learning objectives: Understand how preferred survey design parameters need to be modified in the light of field logistics and environmental factors. Review course content and understand those acquisition parameters have a major impact on data quality and those that have a major impact on acquisition cost.
