03-05a Structural interpretation of seismic data

Objectives

Structural interpretation is something really easy to do… poorly. This course teach all the concepts you need to master to perform relevant structural analysis whatever the tecotonic setting your basin is in.

Who should attend

Profesionnals with a Scientific background.

Prerequisites

Background in Geosciences, petroleum geology or basic Petroleum Engineer knowledge
