1 SaneSeisA Ian Vincent Oct 2015 Updated 18-Oct2015 A proposed seismic acquisition file format The SEG file formats currently used for seismic acquisition (SEGD, SEGY SEG2) are based on decades old concepts that do not apply to modern seismic operations Presented here is a format proposal for shot domain data sets that attempts to resolve the issues with the SEG file formats. It attempts to eliminate all ambiguities. The object is to be able to quickly and easily write and read seismic data files. Informational parts of the header are text that can be read by anyone with a text editor. It is an acquisition level format only not a processing format. A processing format may be defined later depending on reception of this format description. Little endian encoding (Intel) will be used Floating point values and trace data values will be encoded as 32 bit floating point values as per IEEE754 Text entries are ASCII All headers are mandatory and all entries must be filled. File length will be limited to a maximum of 60 Seconds regardless of sample rate. All channels in the file use the same sample rate and number of samples The first sample is T0 (IE for a record length of 1000mS at 1mS SR, there are 1001 discrete samples, this is the way Sercel currently work) Coordinates are UTM and coordinate values in metres A source table contains source and start time information Up to 255 sources are permitted in a file (ID 1 255) A virtually unlimited number of source starts may appear in any file A source may start more than once within a file each start requires an entry in the source table Continuous recording is supported. A manufacturer and user header are included The file format uses Flat headers except for the source and receiver tables which may be variable length. This means that parts of headers do not need to be decoded to interpret later parts which in turn must be decoded to arrive at the number of channels in a file as is the case with SEGD. There are no channel sets as in SEGD. The source table may include null entries IE unused start entries. This allows for a fixed table size to be defined for projects if desired. E.g. if 22 vibrators are assigned to a crew, but only 16 used at any one time in continuous production, the source table may be fixed at 22 sources if desired. The receiver table includes array sensitivity, meaning true amplitude can be recovered The manufacturer header can contain any manufacturer data (text and/or binary data), but for the file to conform to the format, the manufacturer must publish a full description of all entries in the header. The user header is intended for such things as weather station information or other miscellaneous data that is project specific. It is text only and free form. Trace headers are flat and contain all positioning, trace assignment and QC information Currently it is at a formative stage. Full implementation will likely require additions and changes, however the basic concept will not change no optional sections, all entries defined, all headers mandatory and flat, fixed size (except for the Source and Receiver Tables).

Data Section Each trace contains a flat header followed by data encoded as 32 bit floating point values. Trace numbers start at 1 and increment until the last trace is written. The trace contents are defined within the header, so there is no need for channel sets. It also allows for mixing of Aux and Seis data within a record, but I would discourage that unless there is a good reason. There is provision within the content description for storing source data such as vibrator Ref, GF, Mass and BP signal data. In these cases, it is likely that the signals will be shorter than the main record, so they will be padded with zeros at the end. The Trace header format borrows from the Sercel 428 format. This is because it is well described, quite complete and Sercel is currently the dominant equipment manufacturer, and likely to remain so for some time.

8 Comments SaneSeisA easily accommodates conventional normal recording where there is only one source. In this case, only one entry is required in the source table. It also accommodates the recently proposed methods of blended acquisition where many sources are operating either simultaneously or at random times and locations. In this case, a source table entry is required for each source start encountered in the time span of the file. Header size comparison between SaneSeisA and SEGD V2 Consider a conventional Vibroseis record containing traces (including Aux) from a Sercel 428. This means 1 source table entry for SaneSeisA and to be realistic 4 receiver tables. SaneSeisA SEGD V2 File Header 2700 Bytes 2656 Bytes Trace headers 2,380,000 (119 x 20000) 4,880,000 (244 x 20000) Although the file header is slightly bigger, there is a useful saving by using SaneSeisA, and the benefit increases with channel count. This will be offset slightly with many entries in the source and receiver tables, but it is unlikely that we will see more than 100 of each, and then only with a huge channel count which favours SaneSeisA. In any case, it shows that there is considerable room to expand the headers before exceeding the currently used format size. And just as an exercise focusing on very large crews: Channels 50 sources 10 receiver types SaneSeisA SEGD V2 File Header 7819 Bytes 2656 Bytes Trace headers 23,800,000 (119 x 20000) 48,800,000 (244 x ) Each file would save 25MB bytes. Not a big thing in today s world until we consider a project with these parameters would likely have around 1,000,000 (or more) source points, which makes the saving over the project around 25TB, which is probably worthwhile.
