Time to Depth Conversion in Seismic Interpretation | Petrel vs SeismicFlow Tutorial

Learn how to perform time-depth conversion for seismic data in this comprehensive tutorial. Seismic surveys naturally produce data in the time domain, but real-world applications like drilling require depth measurements. This video covers the fundamental concepts behind time-depth conversion and provides step-by-step workflows in both Petrel and SeismicFlow software.

What you’ll learn:
• Why seismic data needs conversion from time to depth domain
• Different approaches to velocity model building
• Complete Petrel workflow for domain conversion using velocity cubes

Whether you’re a geophysicist, seismic interpreter, or geoscience student, this tutorial will help you master this essential skill in subsurface interpretation. Compare both software platforms and discover which workflow suits your needs best.

SeismicFlow is a free and open-source Python platform built to make professional seismic interpretation workflows accessible to everyone. As a community-driven alternative to expensive commercial software like Petrel, SeismicFlow ensures that students, researchers, and geoscientists worldwide can access the same powerful tools regardless of budget constraints. By providing industry-standard capabilities in an open-source environment, SeismicFlow democratizes geophysical interpretation and empowers the next generation of geoscientists to learn, innovate, and contribute to the field.
