PRACTICAL SEISMIC DATA PROCESSING


Course Objective:



throughout the class, the emphasis is on practical processing - how to choose tools and parameters



for successful results, rather than on the mathematics behind the software. This will be achieved



starting from the study, as an overview, of the basic geophysical principles and the detailed study of



the different processing steps, in addition to the rules and theories behind each step. Also toreaching



how to choose tools and parameters for successful seismic data processing results for both 2D and



3D seismic data either marine or land.

Who should attend?



 Geophysicists work with Processing, Acquisition, and interpretation that are actively involved in



seismic processing and/or liaise with seismic processing contractors.



Geophysicists who are involved in special studies should have a through an understanding of



conventional processing
