The article describes some features of the application of modern software for the full-waveform seismic modeling in the training of students for topqualification level in the specialty «Technology of geological exploration». Seismic modeling is the solution to the building a seismic image of the examined object with the given parameters of the geological model. These parameters are reservoir thickness, velocity and density. Additionally, mentioned software can be applied for modeling both seismograms and time sections, cubes for various geological models, and these models can be of any complexity: from rapid lateral changes in velocity to the block structure of the subsurface geology. We show software capabilities in comparison of real and model sections a case study of one of the areas in the territory of Eastern Siberia. This area is characterized by complicated seismic conditions, such as large differences in surface altitudes, abnormally high reservoir pressure, salt layers and various tectonic faults. Conclusions are drawn that modern software can be useful in analysis of reservoir properties.
