3D Seismic Attributes for Prospect Identification and Reservoir Characterization

Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 4,500

Overview

A seismic attribute is any measure of seismic data that helps us better visualize or quantify features of interpretation interest. Seismic attributes fall into two broad categories – those that help us quantify the morphological component of seismic data and those that help us quantify the reflectivity component of seismic data.

Learning Objectives

• You, Will Learn How To:
• Use attributes to enhance subtle faults and folds, as lithologic indicators, and quality control the choice of processing parameters. Evaluate and exploit attribute expressions for different depositional environments to better characterize reservoirs by adopting appropriate workflows and multiattribute tools. Identify geological features highlighted by attributes, limitations to seismic processing through attributes that may result in smeared attribute images from multi azimuth and multi offset data, limits of attribute analysis on data that have been poorly

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses cover?

The portfolio spans the full value chain: upstream exploration, drilling and well control; midstream processing, pipelines and gas treatment; and downstream refining and petrochemicals — plus process safety management (PSM), HAZOP studies, corrosion control and plant operations. Trainers are practitioners from the sector.

Who should attend an oil, gas and petroleum course?

These courses suit process, production and petroleum engineers, plant and field operators and supervisors, maintenance and inspection staff, HSE and process safety professionals, and technical or commercial staff joining the sector from another industry.

How long are oil, gas and petroleum courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can oil, gas and petroleum training be delivered in-house for our team?

Yes. Any Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
