This unit will provide an overview of the geophysical methods used in the petroleum industry. Special emphasis will be placed on the seismic reflection method, as this is the primary technique used in the industry. New and emerging techniques, such as gravity, magnetics and microseismic monitoring will also be introduced.
On completion of the course students will:
