About the programme

Course Overview

Seismic stratigraphy is one of the most advanced tools in Earth sciences and the oil and gas industry, enabling geologists and geophysicists to interpret seismic data and connect it with stratigraphic sequences to identify depositional environments and predict petroleum reservoirs with greater accuracy.

Understanding the relationship between stratigraphic sequences and seismic reflections allows for the construction of integrated geological models, which significantly reduces risks associated with exploration and production.

The Seismic Stratigraphy and Reservoir Prediction workshop, delivered over ten intensive days, is designed to provide participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in analyzing seismic data and linking it to stratigraphy for reservoir prediction.

The program combines academic foundations with applied training, focusing on advanced seismic interpretation, stratigraphic modeling, and global case studies.

This workshop offers a unique opportunity for professionals in the oil and gas sector to strengthen their exploration strategies, improve reservoir prediction accuracy, and achieve a balance between operational efficiency and risk reduction.
