Digital geological models 1300-OCMBG4L
The main objective of this course is to familiarize students with basic methods of the interpretation of geophysical data and learn how to use computer software to create and analyze multidimensional, geological models and present advantages and disadvantages of such models. During the course students will learn how to prepare geological data to create models, import data to the geological software and create, visualize and analyze models. Computer software will be used to create and analyze geological profiles from well data, geological cross-sections and 3D raster geological models. Emphasis is put on three important issues that influence effectively of creating models and their creditability: preparing data bases of geological data, resolution of input data and models verification: for example by using balancing techniques and geological cross-section or interpreted seismic lines restoration.
Course take place in a computer lab in the form of a practical course of the SCHLUMBERGER's PETREL™ software and Arc Gis Pro software.

Learning outcomes
Student is capable of evaluating how digital models can help to analyze geological data. Student understands limitations of 1D, 2D and 3D geological models, and relation between quality of input data and creditability of the model. Student can create simple digital models using computer software also import and export data from the software (e.g. Arc Gis, Petrel, Global Mapper)
Student has knowledge about the key problems in the scientific fields and disciplines related to the studied discipline, and potential directions of practical use of research achievements. Student has knowledge how to prepare seismic and well-bore data in the interpretation project.
Students understand the necessity of life-long learning and broadening their professional and personal competencies
