Day 1

• Simplified and practical review of the sequence stratigraphy will be
  provided.
• They key terminologies will be explained and introduction to the
  proposed workflow.
• Illustrations of the seismic expressions of the sequence stratigraphic
  features will be demonstrated.
• The significance and value of the sequence stratigraphy in the geoscience
  interpretation.
• Sequence stratigraphic models
• Historical background of the concept.
• The classic versus the modern methods.
• Exercise 1 (the recognition of the seismic expressions of the sequence
  stratigraphic features).
• Exercise 2 (Sequence boundary interpretation).

Day 2
Data Conditioning
The recognition of the seismic expression of the sequence stratigraphic features
requires firstly the removal of the noise. In addition, the continuity enhancements and
the discontinuity sharpening is crucial to enable the successive step of the dense
horizons tracking and systems tracts interpretation. This process will demonstrated
with set of examples and hands-on exercises.

• Exercise 3 (Noise filtering).
• Exercise 4 (Identifications of the synchronois timelines and on-lap, offlap and down-lap terminations).

Dip-Steering Volume
The dense auto-tracking is a crucial step to depict and extract the constituent
components of the sequences. Dip and azimuth fields are required to be generated.

• Dip and azimuth fields explained.
• Horizon cube and stratigraphic horizon timelines explained and
  demonstrated.
• Exercise 5 (Dip and azimuth field generation).
• Exercise 6 (Horizon cube generation).
• Exercise 7 (The identification of the terminations and truncations).

Day 3
Wheeler Transform
The Wheeler transform will transform the dense horizons from the structural domain
to the geologic time domain. This will allow the recognition of the stacking patterns,
the progression, retrograditions and the sequence stratigraphic key surfaces.

• Wheeler transform.
• Chronostratigraphic slicing in Wheeler and structural domain.
• The characteristic features of the maximum flooding features, maximum
  regressive surface, erosional unconformity and condensed surface.
• Exercise 8 (Wheeler transform).
• Exercise 9 (Chronostratigraphic slicing and the interpretation of the
  sequence boundaries, terminations, truncations).

Day 4
Systems Tract Interpretation
Systems tracts are the natural habitat of the depositional environments hence the
interpretation of them is the most important step in constraining the gross depositional
environment interpretation and the subsequent facies and property distribution.

• Conceptual Eustasy curve construction.
• Systems tract interpretation based in the dip and azimuth fields and the
  characteristic terminations.
• Exercise 10 (Eustatic curve construction).
• Exercise 11 (Systems tracts interpretation).

Mapping Seismic Facies
The primary objective of the seismic sequence stratigraphic interpretation is to infer
the paleobathymetry and consequently derive the gross depositional environment and
its sedimentological units and facies content.

Interpreted systems tracts will the window of analysis of the seismic facies aiming to
eventually control the property distribution within their genetic types.

• Attribute analysis constrained by the systems tracts.
• Neural network based on the dip and conformal surfaces.
• Seismic facies classification.
• Spectral decomposition.
• Exercise 12 (Neural network based on the dip field).
• Exercise 13 (Spectral decomposition).

Day 5
Examples and applications will be demonstrated and wrap-up lecture and
Exercises will be carried out on the course content.

• Applying the facies mapping and the constrained property distribution to
  guide the velocity modelling.
• Facies-guided seismic inversion.
• Identification of stratigraphic traps.
• Exercise 14 (facies-guided velocity modelling).
• Exercise 15 (Wrap-up group workshop on the course content from
  sequence boundaries to property distribution).
• Final group discussion & course evaluation.
