This course is designed for explorationists who screen seismic data to identify and develop prospects. Delivered in a hands-on, workshop format, participants will focus on seismic sequence and facies analysis using textbook-quality data from global basins. The course covers key aspects of sequence stratigraphy (AAPG Memoir 26), seismic facies interpretation in cross-section, and updated modules on seismic horizon and stratal slicing influenced by Henry Posamentier’s work. It also includes clinoform trajectory analysis to help predict sand distribution. By the end, participants will be skilled in sequence analysis, depositional environment interpretation, and seismic facies-based net: gross estimation. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own seismic data for personal review with the instructor.

Course Outcomes
At the end of the course participants will have a deeper understanding of the following key attributes:
Recognition and meaning of reflection terminations such as onlap, offlap, toplap etc
Seismic facies analysis and how reflection configurations can be used to interpret environments of deposition, risk of reservoir presence and quality
Seismic Imaging of Carbonate Platforms: biostromes vs bioherms, mounds vs reefs, atolls, build-ups, banks and platforms
Integrating seismic interpretation with biostratigraphy
Morphology and differences between siliciclastic and calciclastic clinoforms
Proficiency at seismic sequence analysis
At the end of this course, you’ll understand:
ü Seismic Geomorphology: Differences between seismic time slices, horizon and stratal slices, the workflow for interpretation, range of seismic
ü Exercises on performing sequence analysis on high quality seismic data from passive (trailing-edge) continental margins.
ü Assigning Net: Gross values to different parts of carbonate platforms in seismic, effects of karstification and its seismic expression
ü Range of seismic attributes (spectral decomposition, curvature, etc) in fluvial systems, shallow marine systems, deepwater systems, and carbonates
ü Morphology and differences between siliciclastic and calciclastic clinoforms, advection vs diffusion dominated clinoforms
ü Shelf vs shelf margin-clinoforms, siliciclastic vs carbonate clinoforms.
Geologists and Geophysicists that spend most of their time interpreting seismic data on the workstation. Whether you are an early career geoscientist wanting to learn a systematic methodology for seismic interpretation or an experienced professional wanting to learn some of the latest techniques to have emerged in seismic stratigraphy, this is the course for you.
