Mapping Subsurface Structures
This course teaches the core concepts and techniques for building accurate 3D structure maps, going well beyond rules of thumb. Exercises are solved by hand using workflows that mirror computer-based practice, helping participants build better structural models, reduce dry holes and find new traps in mature fields.
