This half-day short course — designed for those with a general understanding of 3D seismic data — provides an introduction to the free OpendTect seismic interpretation system. The principle objectives for participants are to understand the overall system and support documents, data navigation, display, fundamentals of horizon tracking, and geobody extraction. Each participant is required to bring a laptop with OpendTect software installed. Native versions for Mac, Windows and Linux are available. If possible, also download the F3Demo data for use in the class.
