PreStack Pro – Data conditioning for quantitative interpretation

PreStack Pro – Data conditioning for quantitative interpretation 

Intermediate | 4 half day | Online | Hands-on

 

In this course you will experience the benefits of using a high-performance computing (HPC) setup to quickly test, iterate and QC data. In hands-on exercises you will learn how you can perform QC techniques at every step to tell you if you are moving in the right direction and improving the data. You will use the complete toolkit to QC, process and analyze seismic amplitudes straight from imaged gathers, all the time considering the AVA based analysis and/or prestack inversion that may follow in a QI study.

This is an online hands-on course where you will be working with the application on a North Sea data set.
