Features

File browsing (Basic and Pro editions)

File system tree view of files  (Pro edition only)

Single file browsing.

View SEG-Y text, binary and trace headers.

View SEG-Y rev. 2.1 extended text headers and data trailers. Open and view stanza content (Pro edition only)

Plot trace header attributes.

View seismic sections.

Spatial data (Pro edition only)

Show position data in built in map as lines, points or perimeter (3D seismic)

Automatic detection of XY coordinate headers.

Worldwide support for coordinate reference systems

Export positions to shape files for exhange with GIS applications.

Fix problems (Pro edition only)

Automated QC of SEG-Y files to detect problems

Editing of single file or multiple files in batch:

  • Text header
  • Binary header
  • Trace header attributes with trace header calculator
  • Define custom trace header attributes for non-standard trace headers

Remove traces, or set sample values to zero, using trace range, expressions or a polygon..

Export trace header attributes to csv file.


Convert between SEG-Y revisions (Pro edition only)

Convert SEG-Y files to SEG-Y revision 2.1. Add extended text header stanzas or data trailer records. Concatinate all relevent information into the SEG-Y file.

Convert SEG-Y files back to SEG-Y revision 0 or 1 for enabling loading to Geoscience applications not supporting the latest revision.

Example use cases

When loading SEG-Y files the positions are off

Use the trace header view and trace header plots to inspect XY values. Check coordinate scaling.

Use the built in map to ceck posistions and experiment with different coordinate reference systems.

The SEG-Y text header must be edited

Edit the text header. Use the highlight tool to see text variations between files in one survey. Save edits to all files with a single click

A Geoscience application can't load SEG-Y files with extended headers.

Use the convert process to convert the file to SEG-Y revision 1 without extended headers.

Some traces have illegal header values preventing a SEG-Y file from being loaded.

Use the trace header view and trace header plots to locate the traces.

Use the trace header calculator to edit the trace header values or remove traces with the crop tool.

The SEG-Y files must be delivered to a national data repository as SEG-Y revision 2.1

Use the convert tool to convert SEG-Y files to revision 2.1. Include navigation data, observer logs and processing reports as extended text headers.

Use the QC process to check the SEG-Y files.
