Course description

The aim of the course is to analyze a representative case study enabling the students to carry out a combined interpretation of different data sets and information. Methods primarily used in the hydrocarbon exploration (seismic reflection surveying, well logging). The acquired skills in seismic interpretation are used to solve the project work in teams. From database building to geological evolutionary model and detailed structural, stratigraphic or sedimentological interpretation and basic petroleum geological assessment of the area.
