Import 3D seismic

Make sure you have read about the different elements of the import menu above, before you read this section.

Import of 2D seismic can be done in 3 steps:

  1. Browse for the seismic file.
  2. Scan parts of the file to make sure the import settings are correct.
  3. Execute the import.
