1. Acquiring the essential basics of geophysics and seismic data processing.

2. Understanding the main elements of a seismic processing report.

3. Evaluating the quality of a processing sequence and critically analyze the image to be interpreted and its uncertainties

4. Proper communication with processing geophysicists

1.     Basics Seismic processing

The seismic Theory :

• wave propagation

• reflection

• refraction

• diffraction velocities

2.     Seismic recording spreads :

·         Sources

·        recording systems

·        common depth  point coverage.

3.     Seismic Processing  Sequence.

• Re formatting .

• Geometry.

• Amplitude Recovery.

•     Statics.

• Noise Attenuation.

• De convolution.

• Normal move out correction.

• Residual Statics.

• Multiple Attenuation.

• Common depth point stack/Gathers.

•    Post / Pre Stack Time Migration.

• Post Stack  Processing ( Filtering /De convolution/Scaling).

Participants are encouraged to bring data examples related to this course.

• 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 thorough understanding of conventional processing.
