One-day seminar
Prestack amplitude interpretation for beginners
Location: Måltidets Hus, Innovasjonsparken Stavanger
Date: June 4, 2024
Duration: 1 day
All slots are filled! Registration closed.
New to prestack data? Learn what prestack amplitude interpretation can do for you.
Everything you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask
Do you routinely interpret full stack seismic data? Do you rely on experts for quantitative interpretation? If so, this seminar is for you.
In the one-day seminar we will cover the basic concepts behind prestack seismic data analysis and demystify the world of Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) interpretation through a combination of presentations and hands-on exercises.
Target audience:
Seismic interpreters who do not routinely work with prestack data
Instructor: Dave Goulding, Business Solutions Manager
Dave holds a B.Sc. (Hons) in Geophysical Sciences from the University of Southampton and an M.Sc. in Geophysics from the University of Durham. He spent 28 years working in geophysical interpretation and technical management roles for operating oil companies based in NW Europe, North America and SE Asia, covering the full upstream value chain from exploration through to production.
For the last five years, Dave has been working for Sharp Reflections, providing software and workflow solutions in the fields of Big Data prestack seismic analysis and quantitative interpretation to companies across the globe.
Dave is a long-standing active member of the SEG, EAGE, SEAPEX and GESGB.
Bill Shea, CEO and Co-Founder at Sharp Reflections, began his career a research geoscientist for ExxonMobil and Statoil. In 2003 he co-founded Envision AS, where he helped build one of Norway’s largest teams of independent subsurface consultants.
Driven by an innovative mindset and a sharp appreciation for technological advancements, Bill recognized the immense potential and benefits that high-performance computing (HPC) could bring to seismic visualization and interpretation. Together with partners from Fraunhofer ITWM, they embarked on a mission to harness and deliver these advantages to geophysicists working in the energy sector. PreStack Pro (now Sharp Reflections software) was launched commercially in 2010. Today widely recognized as the industry’s premier Big Data platform for seismic analysis.
As an entrepreneur, Bill continually pushes the boundaries, exploring novel ways to leverage the power of technology to accelerate insight and improve decisions.
