The aim of the course:
The aim of this course is to provide students seismic data interpretation skills in advanced level.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : find out interpretation techniques concerning how to obtain subsurface geological structure by using seismic data.1,7
PO - 2 : learn reconnaissance of area of hydrocarbon reservoirs and determination of tectonic elements (fault, fracture, synclinal, anticlinal, etc.) by using seismic data.1,7
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
