SeisLoader [1]
[ ]

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

SeisLoader [2]
[ ]

Initially the main window is

blank, even if you are opening

an existing project in
SeisLoader.

SeisLoader [3]
[ ]

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

SeisLoader [4]
[ ]
Select the desired

volume for importation

SeisLoader [5]
[ ]
In this example we are

importing a 3D volume

SeisLoader [6]
[ ]
The file has inline,

xline, X and Y
coordinates, therefore
parameters are toggled
accordingly on this page

SeisLoader [7]

The seismic formatting

page is different to that

of other packages. There
is a great deal more
functionality and the
following pages
illustrates each one in
turn

SeisLoader [8]
[ ]

Trace Plot tab: Allows visual of seismic at a given trace location. Click on

show value (as shown below) to see actual numbers

SeisLoader [9]
[ ]

Cross plot tab: Check for data consistency by crossploting two

variables. Left shows what variables can be used.

10

SeisLoader [10]
[ ]

Crossplotting the same variable, such as CDP, is a good way to show that

numbers increase at a constant rate.

SeisLoader [11]

Line Plot Tab: Illustrates a given variable number at a given trace

location. Move the slider to scan the data. The highlight square indicates
its location

12

The byte locations are now in a table format, which is different to other

packages. Double click in a box to change numbers.

The EBCDIC headers are

fully editable. Change or

add information. Double
click on a given line and
type.
