Save SEGY

 

Module name                Save SEG-Y

 

Save SEG-Y module is used to save both internal and external dataset(s) in SEG-Y format.

Below will be shown the two scenarios of saving the data in SEG-Y format.

 

Scenario 1:

 

User reads the external dataset in SEG-Y format and performed some operation (it can be anything like modifying the trace/text/binary header or applied a bandpass filter etc) and wants to output in SEG-Y format.

To read any external (SEG-Y) format, we must use "Read SEG-Y traces" module. In this example, we are applying a band pass filter to the input dataset and save the output dataset.

Inside Read SEG-Y module parameters we must change the option of "Load data to RAM" from No to YES. This is mandatory since the Save SEG-Y accepts the input data as "Input gather".

Parameters

Seismic file name

Define the path and give an output file name with an extension of .sgy or .segy

Save text header to separate file

This will save the text/EBCDIC header as a separate file

Convert to feet

It converts from Metric to Imperial measurement system

Saving mode

Select append/direct. By default "append"

Rewrite file

By default unchecked

SEG-Y format

This is the place where the user should select the available Data sample formats i.e Int4/Float4/IBM/IEEE etc

Trace header formats

By default Geomage format. If user wants to save it a customized format then refer to "Read SEG-Y traces" module

Raw

It has many options to either to use or not to use raw headers

Scalars

These are scalars for coordinates, elevation and SP. By default -100 i.e. 100 cm or 10-2

Text header file

The user can to import the text/EBCDIC file so that this file can be incorporated into text headers

 

Scenario 2:

 

Saving an internal file into external file using "Save SEG-Y" module.

 

In this example, we are going to apply some post stack processing on a stack and save the output.

FX-Decon filter output will be referenced/connected to Save SEG-Y as Input gather. In the parameters, give the Seismic file name and define other parameters as explained above.
