Depth Conversion Methods & Pitfalls
Naphtho provides Alan Atkinson’s established Depth Conversion Methods & Pitfalls 5 day classroom course. This gives you the understanding and skills needed to confidently:
- Perform velocity analysis & depth conversion
- Evaluate depth domain PSDM data
- Understand the critical factors in-depth uncertainty
Hands-on training using mapping tools and spreadsheets
- Learn analysis techniques to extract full value from velocity data
- Take away spreadsheets & Excel skills which can be used directly for depth conversion or to inform your use of specialist software
- Leave with experience of calibrating seismic velocity to wells, and having performed a layer cake depth conversion using a ‘V0k’ model
Theory lectures
- Geological understanding of velocity
- Velocity modelling including powerful linear functions (‘V0k’) and seismic velocity calibrated to wells
- Practical depth conversion techniques & well tying methods
- Time & depth image uncertainty
- Seismic & well velocity uncertainty
Depth Conversion Methods & Petrel Workflows
The Depth Conversion Methods & Pitfalls class has been implemented in Petrel and is available as a 5-day in-house course
- Attendees will gain all the benefits of the ‘Pitfalls’ course, including all the theory lectures
- They will also become proficient in applying the techniques in Petrel
Hands-on training using Petrel and spreadsheets
- Learn novel Petrel workflows to visualise and understand velocity
- Efficiently use Petrel for depth conversion and sensitivity analysis
- Take away a 200-page manual documenting all workflows taught, available exclusively on this course
Additional lectures
- To help understand Petrel’s use of time-depth data
- Describing all Petrel velocity models, detailing the most useful outputs
- Explaining how to set parameters for the linear velocity (V0k) method
