Lecture on An Overview of the Seismic Reflection Method for Hydrocarbon Exploration

Organized in Collaboration With Department of Geological Sciences, Gauhati University

Objective of the Event:

The main objective of the lecture was to improve student's comprehension of seismic reflection methods, a vital technique in hydrocarbon exploration. The session aimed to connect academic knowledge with practical applications in petroleum geophysics.

About the Speaker:

The lecture was presented by Mr. Binod Chetia, a retired geophysicist from Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), who possesses many years of field and research experience in petroleum geophysics.

Event Summary:

The event attracted enthusiastic participation from postgraduate students, research scholars, and faculty members. Mr. Binod Chetia provided an introduction to the basic concepts of seismic reflection methods, discussing wave propagation principles, data acquisition, seismic processing, and interpretation techniques. Leveraging his experience with ONGC, Mr. Chetia presented case studies and shared valuable insights into the practical obstacles and advancements in seismic exploration.

The session wrapped up with an engaging Q&A segment, where students actively interacted with the speaker.
