geosegun: Anyway, I came into the tread a little bit late. but never mind. You can see my ID. I am a geologist as well as a geophyscist. You may ask me any technical and theoretical question pertaining to oil and gas issues and a bit of engineering. Be it seismic interpretation & geological interpretation, attributes generation and analysis, synthetics, velocity modelling and its applications, AVO and etc. I am the busy type but I will try as much as possible to put you guys through whatever questions you have.

You guys need to take the bull by the horn and start from somewhere. I started from geotechnical (soil test) then to water borehole drilling before going into oil/gas services. I am a geoscience trainer by profession and would like to pass the knowledge I have across.

Do not hesitate to ask questions about Seismic stratigraphy, depositional environment. simplification of the Niger delta basin. Depth conversion. Amplitude data and its usefulness. prospect quantification, petrophysics, uncertainty and risk analysis. You want to know more about Kingdom software, I am the right person to ask. Trust me.

Cheers.
Wish you guys all the best

Hemmyjay: hello house, my name is tomisin, a student of geology in futa. i must confess, I am hearing these softwares for the first time, and again is it possible to do HSC while still an undergraduate? and plz i will like to know how much it cost to do these short time courses. if you can also give me list of other skills acquisition courses a goescientist can do to be a better goescientist, i will appreciate thankz

imag5: four saturdays and the price is 80pounds for level 1 2 and 3,with other 3 extral certificate

labongua: It's good to have this forum of geoscientists here. OP, you did a good thing. Having gone through 99% of posts, i observe that most of the focus is on the oil/gas industry (seismics, Petrophysics etc) but with little on near surface opportunities (Near surface seismics, geotechnical services, pollution investigation etc). I would suggest that while searching for the bug pay, if you have the opportunity of landing a job or internship with indigenous companies that are into near surface geology/geophysics, grab it. Your experience will start counting from there.

I am a postgrad student of geophysics herein Naija but my 1st degree is in physics. I have coursemates who are into geotechnical services and are doing VERY WELL. Talking of petrel, well, i have 2009 and am willing to give anybody free of charge. It's 4 yrs old but you can still do your learning on it. If you can also download the free version of OpendTect, good for you.

I am based in Lagos.

Are you attending the upcoming NAPE ICE? It could be another opportunity for you to network with industry people
eejegreh@gmail.com for the petral, thanks

hiroz: geology is such a wonderful course and it is a pity that only few kids in secondary schools know about it.all they know is engine and med but i think in the last 10years geology has gained a lot of popularity.it is a course with vast opportunity.this is a very great thread and i hope to learn a lot here.and why are there so few female geologist in this thread?i rep uniben geology

imag5: Google jpts......it just introduction for drilling operations and offshore technology Google should be your best friend ok

Geopascal: gretnz 2 ma mentors in diz forum ma name z Leo am a geophysics aspirant i nid u guyz 2 keep mi going cuz i heard geophysics z a very woski course jst got admisn in unical.

imag5: the issue is not the downloading but the lincense key to operate the software,however u can meet some people that aready have it to send it to ur system....it take millions to get these software...i got my first petrel2010 software from my lecturer in school then.. Send me ur mail let me see how i can send u the file......it not the software it about u getting a data and knw how to use it...cheers

ideology: there are better ways to air your views, than raising unnecessary alarms, and watch your words

imag5: Strictly for Geophysicists, Geologist, Petroleum Engineers. Let's discuss the future. In terms of career development, job prospects, also we will be discussing about various oil and gas activities in Nigeria.

Anyway, let me start by introducing myself, my name is Imagwe Marcus, a graduate of geophysics. All contributions are welcome. The future belongs to those who are well prepared for it. Thanks and God bless.

psychu: Hi, thanks for the invitation to ask questions, I am considering having my M.Sc thesis centered around AVO, my question is ‘How easily can I source for the kind of data I need here in Nigeria'. Which good book and software do you recommend for AVO studies, will I be able to predict my petrophyical parameters and reserve from AVO. Thanks.
