Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a method and system to allow individuals to gain fast and inexpensive access to previous generations of seismic data, regardless of the storage location of the seismic data sets. In accordance with the invention, a data tagging / labeling system utilizes a persistent standard data tag or unique identifier to identify a seismic data set.

Problems solved by technology

Due to organizational barriers between processing and interpretation and because of the large size of seismic data sets, which are often on the order of hundreds of gigabytes, it is often difficult, expensive, and time consuming to access and manipulate previous generations of seismic data.

Abstract

A system and method for uniquely identifying seismic data sets, wherein the system and method associate a unique seismic data set identifier with a seismic data set, wherein the unique seismic data set identifier identifies the seismic data set by being different from all other unique seismic data set identifiers associated with other seismic data sets. The unique seismic data set identifier for the seismic data set is published within a directory, thus allowing the seismic data set to be found within a computer system or network of systems by the unique seismic data set identifier that is associated with the seismic data set.

Description

BACKGROUND Typically, seismic data sets comprise binary representations of the measurements of acoustic properties of a geographic location on the earth. Processing algorithms, such as image enhancements, are applied to seismic data sets. The processing function serves to manipulate the seismic data into a final form that is more easily understood by human data interpreters. The processed seismic data may be utilized in varying aspects, for example to aid in determining whether or not hydrocarbons are present in a specific geographic location. The full processing sequence of a seismic data set typically involves processing several generations of seismic data, each of which is derived from the previous generation of seismic data. Thus a current seismic data set may have origins in ancestral data sets that are several generations removed from the current data set. In a research environment, seismic data sets are typically processed by specialists in different departments, and usual...
