Import SEG-Y files

This exercise will guide you through import of a seismic line. It will cover the simple case for a plain SEG-Y file which follows the SEG-Y standard and has navigation stored in the trace header. In the example we will use the SEG-Y file which is stored with the Atlantis project.

A SEG-Y file can only be imported into a seismic data folder. If you are using Geocap's standard UNCLOS folder structure then such a folder is located in 3. Sediment Data/Seismic Lines In this exercise we will also generate a sub-folder in order to organize our data.

1. Locate the folder 3. Sediment Data/Seismic Lines in your project
2. Right click the folder and select New > Folder
3. Right click the folder and select Rename. Give the folder the name of the survey. In this case ATL-LOS-00 (or give it another name if you are importing into the Atlantis project and the folder already exists)
4. Right click the folder and select Import > SEG-Y 2D. The SEG-Y import menu will appear.
5. Click the Defaults button in order to reset the menu to the default options.
6. Click the file browse button and select the ATL-LOS-00-1.segy-file located in the Atlantis folder structure on disk (Atlantis/data/Atl-los-1-segy).
7. Click Open. The file follows the SEG-Y standard and we do not have to change the default settings.
8. It might be a good idea to check that the Storage: in the lower right corner is set to 8 bit.
9. Click Execute and the file is imported.
10. Click close in order to close the SEG-Y import command.
