Different Between Segd and Segy

This document outlines the key differences between SEGD and SEGY file formats for seismic data. SEGD uses multiple files per line with variable block lengths and extended headers, while SEGY typically uses a single file per line with fixed block lengths and limited header space. SEGD can be multiplexed or demultiplexed, whereas SEGY is always demultiplexed and is more disk friendly.
