Data Loading in CE8

Introduction

Data loading has been made much easier in CE8. The principles and locations of the buttons remain the same however in theand locations of the buttons remain the same, however in the case of 2D data there is no need to formulate your own geometry.

Data loading is rarely a fun task, so I hope this document makes life a little easier.

2D Line as a Single Line 3D Volume: Introductiong

It is usually inconvenient and time consuming to load in 2D data as a Straight Line. HRS software was designed for 3D volumes and consequently if you can load in a 2D line as a 3D volume, most workflows will be much easier for you. Most 2D SEG-Y files can easily be imported as a single line 3D it only requires that you can identify onecan easily be imported as a single line 3D – it only requires that you can identify one byte location in the Trace Header that is constant throughout the entire volume and use this to define the Inline.

This workflow will provide you with a quick way to successfully importing your 2D data as single-line 3D volume. It assumes that the file has X and Y coordinates

39

Time-Lapse and Multi-Component Surveys: Introductionp p y

Time-Lapse and Multi-Component surveys are similar in that you typically have two or more seismic volumes that need to have the same geometry in order that differences between the two datasets can be compared.

Oft th i i fil ill d t b “ bi d” i d th t th t f llOften, the seismic files will need to be “rebinned” in order that the geometry of all volumes matches exactly the base survey (or the PP survey for multi-component work). This process can easily be accomplished using the Survey Regrid option in Pro4D and ProMC software.

Pro4D also offers the ability to group the surveys from different vintages into one group to allow for easy comparison. This grouping ability is available in the Data Explorer interface.

ProMC has some slight differences when loading the SEG-Y files. In this case, care b k h h d i (PP PS SS d i ) d h i

must be taken that the correct domain (PP, PS or SS domain) and the correct time domain (PP time, PS time or SS time) is entered.

The process for loading volumes into Pro4D is the typical 3D volume load – except that you select the multiple files you load themyou select the multiple files, you load them as Multiple Volumes (and not as a concatenated single volume).
