Seismic feature class attributes

This section describes the fields in a seismic feature class.


FieldDescription
Name Feature name - usually survey name or base name of SEG-Y file
SEGYFileAbsolute path of input seismic file on SEG-Y format
TextualFileHeaderThe textual file header (EBCDIC header) in the SEG-Y file
URLAbsolute or relative path of the resulting file. Se URL examples below
DroidIf exported from Petrel: reference to cube within Petrel project.
SeismicZDomainThe Z domain of the seismic. Time or depth
SeismicZUnitThe unit of the Z domain of the seismic. 'ms', 'us', 'ns' or 'ps', for time domain, 'm', 'cm',

URL Examples:

For a ZGY file on a local disk at C:/example/seismicdata.zgy the URL will be:

file:///C:/example/seismicdata.zgy

For inline crossline and timeslice on disk stored as .tiff files named C:/example/seismicdata_crosslines.tif, C:/example/seismicdata_inlines.tif and C:/example/seismicdata_timeslices.tif the URL will be:

file:///c:/example/seismicdata.tif

For a seismic 2D line raster stored in the same file geodatabase as the featureclass with the name "seismicdata" the URL will be:

urn:name:seismicdata

Schema Versions:

Schema Version 3:

Prior to Schema 3 shot point attributes are stored as integer numbers. From Schema 3 shot point attributes are stored as decimal numbers.

Schema Version 4:

Prior to Schema 4 the sample interval was always stored in micro seconds. From Schema 4 the unit of the sample interval is read from the column 'SeismicZUnit'.
