Seismic Interpretation Bootcamp Using Opentect (Free) Software 

Dr. 'Lanre Aboaba 

AAPG Midcontinent 2021

Sunday, October 3rd ~ Full Day Course

 Course Description: This course will add value for petrotechnical professionals and support staff by providing a practical knowledge and a working understanding of the techniques and concepts used in the seismic interpretation process. This course provides a thorough introduction to all aspects of seismic data, from the fundamentals of the seismic method to mapping and the use of seismic attributes.
