Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on three-dimensional seismic interpretation both accrue interest. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline; it has added to it. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability so that teams can disagree productively about it. The professional literature on three-dimensional seismic interpretation converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The version of this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda and prepares them for it. The content is relevant to those who own three-dimensional seismic interpretation and to those who are held accountable for its results. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations and revise it on evidence. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability that would make a visible difference.
