• Synergistic team work 
  For most of us, teamwork is a part of everyday life. Whether it's at home, in the community, or at work, we are often expected to be a functional part of a performing team. in present day companies teamwork is a must for the co-ordination of departments, in oil industry there are various departments ,there must be coordination between them . one of these teams is the exploration team ,the course explains who are the team members, how they interact, and what sort of data each one is using according to his specialty, in order to by the  end gets the integrated work to explore for oil and gas.

Including:

• Pressure detection using seismic, and relation between various rock properties and pressure.

• Borehole seismic

• Standard VSP, Deviated well VSP, offset VSP ,walkaway vsp

• Why VSP?

• 1)  To provide a direct relationship between surface seismic data and well information. This relationship may help remove ambiguities in the interpretation and non-uniqueness in the inverse process.

• 2)  Expected to give additional and complementary seismic values to be used in data processing (e.g., interval velocity, zero-phase reflectivity).

• 3)  To make “deterministic” deconvolution

• 4)  Used for direct measurement how lithology affects the seismic wave field near the well or similarly how the seismic response can be related to the lithology.
• 5)   Cross - well Tomography (principle ,and applications).

• Practical interpretation project (exercise)
  Basics of seismic interpretation (2D, 3D)

• Workshop on seismic interpretation project (interpret lines, mapping horizons and faults), General discussions, technical problems solving and consulting.
