Geological Evolution Based on Interpretation and Integration of Reflection Seismic and Wireline Log Data

Knowledge:

• Theoretical and practical aspects of interpretation of digital reflection seismic data on workstation
• Theoretical and practical aspects of interpretation of digital wireline log data on workstation-
• Integrated interpretation of digital seismic and wireline log data

Skills:

• Demonstrate an overview of the usage of reflection seismic interpretation and wireline log data to investigate the sub-surface geology
• Demonstrate an overview of various geological structures e.g. saltstructures, erosion channels, faults, extension and compression tectonics, basalt e.g. plateau basalt  
• Demonstrate integration of reflection seismic data and wireline log data in a joint interpretation
• Interpret seismic profiles, construct depth- and thickness map and outline the geological evolution of a basin
• Lithological interpretation of wireline logs based on electrosequence analysis, construction of cross-plots and histograms

Competences:

• Understand and work with reflection seismic methods by usage of seismic stratigraphy
• Interpretation of seismic surveys by loop interpretation, pitfalls in seismic interpretation, attribute analysis, and construction of depth and thickness maps
• Understand the principles of interpreting standard wireline logs (Gamma-ray, Sonic, Density, Porosity, Resistivity and Caliper logs) by electrosequence analysis, lithology reconstruction from wireline logs, interpretation of cross-plots and histogram.
• Demonstrate full understanding of the integration the two methods to describe the geological evolution of a study area
• Have an overview of the potential of using reflection seismic and wireline log interpretation to studies of the sub-surface of the Earth at both near surface, shallow, intermediate and deep levels.
