Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Board of the Euro-
pean Association of Geoscientists and
Engineers (EAGE), I am pleased to in-
troduce our multiple short course pro-
gramme ‘Education Days Stavanger
2017’, which will take place on 20-24
November 2017 in Stavanger, Norway.
The event consists of multiple one-day and two-day short cours-
es delivered by distinguished geoscientists and professionals.
The courses are carefully selected to ensure a consistent pro-
gramme with appeal to a broad geoscience and engineering
audience. Multiple courses and topics are offered during the
week, thus insuring that all attendees can customize an educa-
tional programme appropriate to their own needs and interests.
Education Days is an ideal platform to increase knowledge
and awareness of new methodology for geoscience specialists.
These short courses do not only reflect the latest scientific de-
velopments in geosciences, but also demonstrate applications
of these theories to real-life problems.
This year the event will be held at the Innovation Park, or Ip-
ark, which is accessible for all participants and the ideal location
for this event. Ipark is an international centre for innovation,
research and business development, housing over 130 compa-
nies and around 900 employees. The Innovation Park is located
within Stavanger’s university campus area, and is part of the Ul-
landhaug competence environment in which the International
Research Institute of Stavanger (IRIS), the University of Stavan-
ger (UiS) and Validé are important collaborative partners.
I strongly encourage you to participate in one or more short
courses during the EAGE Education Days in Stavanger. I am
sure that you will be positively surprised by the high quality
and professionalism of the courses.

Accreditation
In March 2013 EAGE became the first official Continuing Pro-
fessional Development (CPD) Provider of the “European Geol-
ogist” title, which is a professional accreditation established by
the European Federation of Geologists (EFG). In order to ob-
tain and maintain this title, the holder must provide a record
of high quality CPD activities, which include the short cours-
es like the ones presented in this brochure. For an overview
of the provided points for EAGE Short Courses and for more

Course Description:
AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) analysis has been a key tech-
nology for de-risking drill targets as it can potentially distin-
guish different fluids and litho-types. Over time the applica-
tion of the AVO technique has evolved and merged with
seismic inversion methods so that today the traditional AVO
analysis techniques have been superseded by the analysis of
rock property volumes on the interpreter’s work station. How-
ever, in order to derive these rock properties we still rely on
the fundamental principles of AVO. This course covers the ba-
sics of AVO theory and how it is used to create attributes or
inversion volumes from seismic reflection data that reveal the
rock and fluid characteristics of the sub-surface. The course
is not mathematical, but does review some simple equations
that help the student understand how AVO is applied to cre-
ate quantitative measurements from surface seismic data and
interpret those results in terms of rock physics – often referred
to as Quantitative Interpretation (QI).
Participants’ Profile
Interpreters, geologists, geophysicists and other geoscience dis-
ciplines who have an interest in understanding how AVO, rock
physics and seismic inversion is applied in real world studies.

Course Description:
Geophysical Reservoir Monitoring (GRM) of reservoirs relies on
frequent time-lapse observations with high-survey repeatability.
This technology is a key enabler for maximizing the oil recovery
of oil and gas fields. The GRM technology aims at understand-
ing and updating the knowledge of producing reservoirs. This is
achieved through mapping the movement of fluid and pressure
fronts and fluid contacts during production and injection. The
combination of production monitoring with repeated seismic ac-
quisition and geological and reservoir information provides reli-
able estimates of static and dynamic reservoir parameters. The
lecture will first review the geophysical reservoir monitoring his-
tory at Statoil. We will share our experience with 4D processes,
resources allocation and the overall monitoring strategy. The
lecture will also cover challenges in understanding the 4D re-
sponses and value creation. Finally, we will look at how we push
the GRM technology towards higher use of quantitative results.
Participants’ Profile
This course should be of interest to managers, geoscientists,
reservoir and petroleum engineers with an interest in reservoir
management and monitoring using time-lapse seismic.

Course Description
This course covers all areas of applied seismic anisotropy, with
class exercises and ample time for full discussion. Because
anisotropy is such a fundamental concept, it covers topics in
seismic acquisition, processing, imaging and interpretation, all
based on seismic rock physics.
This is not a ‘methods course’ but rather a ‘concept course’,
familiarizing the students with essential concepts, enabling
them to ask the right questions in future conversations, rather
than to operate particular software packages.
Participants’ Profile
Geophysicists should attend who have a working knowledge
of conventional exploration geophysics and wonder how it
can be that we use isotropic concepts to acquire and analyze
data that come from rocks that, after only brief thoughtful
consideration, must clearly be anisotropic.

Course Description
The course comprises a series of talks on the fundamentals of
geology interspersed with short practical exercises and discus-
sions. The objective of the course is to introduce attendees to
the science of geology with a particular emphasis on its appli-
cation for the exploration of hydrocarbons.
Participants’ Profile
This course is principally intended for geophysicists who have
no background in geology but it should be of value to all tech-
nologists working in the hydrocarbon industry who interact
with geologists.
