Data Loader: Input 3D SEG-Y Files

Use the Input SEG-Y Files page to specify the 3D SEG-Y files that you wish to load unless you are loading from a tape.  Only one 3D survey can be loaded at a time unless you are loading from a columnar ASCII file


Multiple Input Files for Single 3D Output 

Specify the input files to load.  Only a single 3D file is output so the files should all be for the same survey.  In addition the files should be in the correct order, from lowest line number to highest line number.

Files: Pop up a file selector dialog to select files to import.

Remove All: Remove all files from the list.

Remove: Remove any currently selected files from the list.

View: Opens the currently selected file in the Seismic Viewer.

Save As: Save a list of all the input files to a .csv file. This .csv file can then be edited to include unique load parameters for each file. Use this to load multiple 3Ds to individual output 3Ds.


File Output

Specify how the output file should be created.

Output a new SEG-Y file: Creates a new SEG-Y file for output.

Append to an existing SEG-Y file: This will append the input files to an existing 3D survey.  If you have the data available it is best to create the output file in a single load rather than using this option.

File Inputs 

 Specify the source of the files to load.

Specified files only: Only loads the files from the input file list when creating the output file.

Multiple files with prompt: Use this option if you have multiple CDs or DVDs with different pieces of the survey.  After loading each piece the data loader will prompt you to select the next file.  Even when loading from CD it is often easier to copy the files to your local drive and specify them all at one time.

Columnar ASCII file containing multiple file descriptions: Use this option to load multiple 3Ds at a time. Do not select any input files, and then click Next to set up the options on the Load Columnar File page.
