Description

Designed for you, if you are...

• A Geologist, geophysicist or petroleum engineer, involved in exploration and development of oil and gas fields
• A professional engaged in projects related to the shallow subsurface or dealing with the (geo)physical effects of production of a field

How we build your confidence

The benefits from attending

• Understand what information geophysical data can give and for what purposes it can be used.
• Specify the requirements for a survey, either done by yourself or by a special service provider.
• Place and value geophysical activities in a multi-disciplinary context
• Judge the merits of various geophysical techniques
• Better liaise and collaborate with staff in related disciplines
• Recognise artefacts and direct hydrocarbon indications on seismic
• Value novel developments such as time lapse methods for hydrocarbon reservoir monitoring
