Introduction to Seismic Stratigraphy: A Basin Scale Regional Exploration Workshop
Seismic stratigraphy draws equally on geology and geophysics and is one of exploration's most effective yet underused tools. This workshop shows how it supports geohistory analysis, helping to explain how a basin evolved and how that evolution controls hydrocarbon potential in space and time.
