COURSE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

This course will introduce the 2D and 3D seismic data and the concepts of stress, strain, deformation, brittleness and ductility. Joints, fractures and faults definitions will be covered in addition to the fault types (normal, revers and strike-slip) and its terminology (hanging wall, footwall, throw, heave etc.). Fault geometry (planar & listric) in addition to the seismic expression and identification of faults in seismic sections and time slices. Furthermore, Seismic attributes for fault identification and definitions will be covered in this course.

COURSE CONTENT

  • 2D & 3D Seismic.
  • Stress, strain, deformation, joints, fractures and faults.
  • Fault terminologies, types and geometries.
  • Faults seismic expression and surface reflection.
  • 3D seismic advantage over 2D data and workstation.
  • Fault interpretation rules and steps.


WHO SHOULD JOIN US TO :

  • Anyone interested in  2D & 3D Seismic Fault Interpretation. 


OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Outline the 2D and 3D seismic data geometries and explain the advantage of 3D seismic over 2D seismic data in fault interpretation.
  • Define the terms stress, strain, strength, deformation, brittleness, and ductility and explain pure and simple shear.

  • Define the geological terms of throw, heave in seismic sections and map view.

  • List the structural hydrocarbon trap types that result from or are associated with some form of faulting.

  • List the fault interpretation steps as an iterative process and identify important considerations for the accurate placement of faults.

  • Define the basic rules for fault interpretation and identify the different relationships of reflection time.

1. Associate Professor Dr Mohamed Elsaadany 

Dr Mohamed Elsaadany is an Associate Professor at University Teknologi PETRONAS (Malaysia). Before joining UTP, he served as a Principal in Reservoir Geophysics for Petronas Carigali with the main responsibilities of leading field development plans and exploration prospect evaluation in Malaysia, as well as international concessions. Dr Elsaadany is a well-rounded geo-scientist with 29+ years of multi-disciplinary experience in both Upstream exploration and production. His main skills are play based exploration, portfolio & prospect maturation, near field exploration / development, operational execution, coordination of geophysical / geological input to Field Development Plans, structural analysis / tectonic evolution and seismic interpretation (2D & 3D volume interpretation). He has worked with Shell Egypt Joint Venture, Cairo Egypt in Western Desert and Mediterranean, mud logging and operation in Gulf of Suez, Nile Delta and Western Desert, Egypt. Dr Elsaadany has a MSc and a PhD in Geology, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. He is currently teaching Seismic Interpretation, Principles of Stratigraphy and Petroleum Geology for UG in addition to sharing in a Geophysics Course-Work Master Course at Petroleum Geoscience Department.
