Introduction

In order to use the sediment formulae criterion in UNCLOS Article 76, we need a dataset containing the sediment thickness. This dataset can be based on seismic data. This tutorial has some exercises which cover the basics for working with seismic data.

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 Data In this exercise we will also generate a sub-folder in order to organize our data.

  1. Locate the folder 3. Sediment Data/Seismic Data 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 (Projects/Atlantis_2_1/Data/Sediment 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
  10. You will be prompted with a dialog asking you for datum and projection for the seismic line. Select WGS 84 and Mercator and click OK
  11. Click OK again
  12. Click OK in order to close the SEG-Y import command.
