This course will allow students to discover the fascinating world of 2D and 3D seismic data one of the most useful and advanced geophysical tool allowing the extraordinary imaging of the subsurface. Students will be able to navigate inside incredible seismic data sets which will unravel 10s-of-km-scale underground ‘virtual outcrops’ where stratigraphy, tectonic and sedimentology are all integrated in one data set providing unbeatable images of the variety of the crust nature and structure. Through the interpretation of these data, by learning the different approaches, steps challenges and pitfalls, students will then build 3D geological models and experience the challenges of capturing the complexity of the nature and variety of sedimentary basin infill and their relationship with the bedrock using a variety of industry standard tools. The multiple purposes of building a model at different scales will be explained and applications to a variety of case studies shown.
This course will use a variety of seismic data sets including the Swiss Plateau, onshore France and Gabon, offshore
Mediterranean, Namibia, Nigeria, Australia, The Netherlands, UK and many other basins in the world. In addition, one specific datasets from the UK North Sea will be used as a reference a red thread exercises which will be also used in other geo-energy courses offered in the ER module
