ï‚· Search for new Opportunities in Brown Fields.




How will this Training Course be Presented?



The course will not only presented by showing and interpreting the material in detail- but also the



participants will work together using a real Seismic data to apply all the workflow and to project their



previous knowledge and experience onto the course- they also encouraged to bring their own data so



that real working examples can be reviewed and interpreted.
