    Course details

    Course Overview
    Seismic Petrophysics is the careful and purposeful use of rock physics data and theory with well-log data in the interpretation of seismic observations.
    The course begins with simple commonly used models and continually expands on them to include increasingly complicated and realistic interpretations. At each step, the relationships between laboratory, theory, well-logs, and seismic data are investigated. A set of spreadsheets that incorporate many of the models, predicting fluid properties, rock properties, and seismic response.
