Data Loading for CE8

By Simon Voisey
 Introduction

ƒData loading has been made much easier in CE8. The principles
and locations of the buttons remain the same, however in the case
of 2D data there is no need to formulate your own geometry.
ƒData loading is rarely a fun task, so I hope this document makes
life a little easier.

 Loading multiple volumes into a single volume [1]

Sometimes volumes are divided into separate files. Therefore to

carry out full analysis, they need to brought into the software as a
single file. In this example I have a volume which has been divided
into thirds, as shown below.

ƒ Seisloader is a new package which allows the importation of

seismic data, without tying up a Hampson-Russell licence.
ƒ Furthermore, it has been written for 64-bit machines
ƒ The principles for importing various volumes are the same in
SeisLoader, compared to other HRS packages, therefore please
use the workflows in this document as a guide to bring in data.
ƒ Access Seisloader from the GEOVIEW toolbar, as shown below:

Select File -> Seismic

to bring in volumes,
either from file or
volumes already in
your project. In this
example we want to
import a segy file. In
addition Seisworks or
Openworks volumes
are also accessable
here

Trace Plot tab: Allows visual of seismic at a given trace

location. Click on “show value” (as shown below) to see
actual numbers

Cross plot tab: Check for data consistency by

crossploting two variables. Left shows what
variables can be used.

 SeisLoader [10]

Crossplotting the same variable, such as CDP, is a good

way to show that numbers increase at a constant rate.

given trace location. Move the slider to scan the data.

A constant value can
be inputted into a
given trace location.
1.Double click on
[1] desired byte location
[2] 2.If required, the
action can be
conducted to all
[3] traces, therefore
toggle on the
[4] highlighted option.
3.Insert constant
value.
4.In addition, a
formula can be used
which will then be
applied to the traces

A near stack volume is being used for

this example. Therefore click into
byte location 37 [1], toggle on “All
Traces in file” [2], enter 12 for the
constant number [3] and finally press
