    This is a Remote Instructor Led Series (RILS) training. The remote classroom delivery is a modality that takes advantage of the instructor led training content, while allowing the same content to be delivered remotely. All training sessions will be delivered online with no face-to-face classroom attendance.

    The purpose of the Petrel Velocity Modeling - RILS course is to introduce the velocity modeling, velocity handling and domain conversion functionalities in Petrel.

    The course takes the participants through the preparation stage of the data used for velocity estimation and modeling. This includes the quality control and editing of checkshot data used in sonic calibration and the quality control of time surfaces and well tops used for defining velocity intervals. Furthermore, the available velocity modeling approaches are discussed and applied, including well velocity estimation, the nature and modeling of seismic velocities, surface-based and 3D grid-based seismic velocity modeling, as well as user-defined velocity functions.

    After the velocity modeling phase, domain conversion of various objects and how to model structural uncertainty is covered.


    The Petrel Velocity Modeling - RILS course will be delivered over a total of twenty-four (24) Hours; i.e. in five (5) sessions lasting 5 Hours each, except the second and the fifth session which will last 4.5 Hours each.

    Each participant will need the following for an optimal experience of the course:

    • Windows-based PC
    • USB headset
    • Internet access
    • Second monitor or tablet for the course manual(s)
    • Webcam

    Development and exploration geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers, managers, reservoir engineers and technical personnel with prior experience in Petrel.
