INSTRUCTIONS ON DATA ENCAPSULATION WORK FLOW ON THE I DRIVE

Updated June 16, 2006

Procedures for adding lines or data to the I-drive.

Recommendations:

Folder Organization

It is recommended that the following FOLDER structure be created:

Basic - To contain observer notes, chaining notes, drillers and shooters logs, additional notes
Business - A copy of the final signed AFE, important correspondence, partnership deals...
Design - Initial survey design, Parameter sheet and Layout map
Field - Field data, as near to the original as possible. Aram field segy shots, SEGA-D, Vanguard CD
Gathers - SEGY shots with geometry and refraction statics in header
Stacks - The "best" final stack to date, gives the processor something to shoot for
Survey - Final audited SEGP survey. For 3D separate files for source and receiver lines


1) A line entry is created in EDM with all pertinent meta data. The Container structure can easily be built
   by using the EDM clipboard of meta data and running a Perl script to create the required folders on the
   I drive. The Lineid.LineName.info.txt meta data file is also created. Additional notes can be added to 
   this file.

2) Existing Kelman Quartet (KQ) archived data can be copied to the appropriate Field_shots directory. 
   Please note that Perl scripts have been written to automatically copy the data from /data/field 
   and /data/stack.

3) Under Basic data, copy the Observer Notes, Driller's logs, shooters etc. Request that the ORIGINAL data
   be pdf'd or multi page .tif'd as follows:
    
    OB's:
    Lineid.LineName.obs.SP0101-0460.pdf
    eg:  A3695.84848-84.obs.SP0101-0460.pdf
           (Where SP = Shot Points and 0101-0460 are the shot points indicated in the file)

    Anything to do with Survey xy's 
    Lineid.LineName.sur.0001-0225.tif
    eg:  A3695.84848-84.sur.0001-0225.tif
  

    Elevations 
    Lineid.LineName.elev.0001-0225.tif
    eg:  A3695.84848-84.elev.0001-0225.tif

    Note: For new data, the elevations are probably in the segp files  

    Chaining Notes: Nice to have, especially with the older data
    Lineid.LineName.chain.1101-1104.pdf
    eg:  2D:  A3695.84848-84.chain.pdf
           3D:  F101730.ECC-ATIGI-3D-03.chain.1101-1104.pdf 
                   (Where 1101 is the first line number and 1104 is the last line number in the pdf file)
    
   
    Drillers Reports: 
    Lineid.LineName.drillers.pdf
    eg.  2D: A3695.84848-84.drillers.pdf
           3D: F101730.ECC-ATIGI-3D-03.drillers.pdf  
                 (Additional details are required if multiple files exist)

    Shooters Reports:
    Lineid.LineName.shooters.pdf
    eg:  A3695.84848-84.shooters.df
           
    Monitors:
    Lineid.LineName.monitor.0001-0225.tif
    eg:  A3695.84848-84.monitor.0001-0225.tif

    Anything to do with Survey
    Lineid.LineName.sur.0001-0225.tif
    eg:  A3695.84848-84.sur.0001-0225.tif

    Other Documents:
    Lineid.LineName.misc.tif
    eg:  A3695.84848-84.misc.tif

4) Please note there is one folder for survey.

5) Data can now be 
   encapsulated into SeisCap format as it is being copied to the seiscap archive 
  (I:\CGY\Seismicdata\seiscap\seiscap1 ... ). SeisCap'd data can be
   FTP'd to the remote locations or easily copied onto DVD or USB disk for seismic processing.

6) File names should NOT have any spaces or special characters.  Please use underscores if required.

Procedures for Data Management to use to get a digital copy of the support data:

1) Scan the original basic data, scan paper first then Microfilm or Fische. 
   All scanning to be grey scale! Files are lager but the quality is vastly superior.	

2) All original field notes including monitor records. Monitors are especially useful because they 
   frequently contain field file numbers on one of the traces. Old monitors should be kept. Monitors for
   new data should be used for quality control in the field and then destroyed.

2) Scan only two sections per line, the Largest scale and best Quality, 
   Oldest and Newest Versions with a TITLE BLOCK. 

SeisCap Encapsulation

1) Create a list of files with path names to be encapsulated
2) Create a file assocation for each file above, .txt for files to be opened with a text editor, .tif for graphics program
3) Optionally provide comments for each file
4) Run the create_seiscap.exe program to create the encapsulated data
5) Update EDM with these data. Check that the Push Pin option will open up the files.

SeisCap'd data can be FTP'd to the remote locations or easily copied onto DVD or USB disk for seismic processing.
