M2c Optimize Data Geometry and Project Memory START 5793631 01

1. The document discusses optimizing seismic data by changing the geometry, cropping data, prefetching to cache, and using a seismic calculator. 2. It provides instructions for cropping virtual seismic cubes, realizing seismic data in a new ZGY format, and prefetching volumes to cache for faster access. 3. Users can also set cache size and memory settings, create external data files, and use a seismic calculator to perform equations on seismic variables and objects.

Objectives

 Optimize data geometry and project memory


– Change seismic Geometry
– Crop and realize seismic data
– Prefetch to cache
– Use Seismic calculator
2.Crop the virtual cube:
Crop seismic data a.Click in function bar, drag the green handles
appearing in 3D window; or
1.Right-click the seismic cube, b.Go to Settings, Cropping tab and specify line ranges
select Insert virtual cropped
volume; a virtual seismic a
cube appears under the
original seismic cube, with
identical geometry.

Note: A continuous readout of volume size is found in the


lower right corner when graphically cropping down the cube.
Realize seismic data (1)

Realize seismic cube =


Create a new object in ZGY format

Benefits:
- Optimized for 3D handling
- Faster to render than SEG-Y

1.Go to Settings, Operations


tab, Realize sub-tab
Realize seismic data (2)
2.Select source amplitude range and
realization quality. Click Scan

3.Click Realize; the process status is


found in the Task manager.The
realized cube is under the seismic
survey folder in Input pane
Prefetch to cache seismic volumes
1.Go to Tools in the menu bar, select System settings > Seismic tab to set the Seismic
cache size and Graphics card memory.

2.Right-click a seismic cube, select Prefetch to cache; this will load the selected
volume into the computers RAM (for even faster access).

Note: SEG-Y and ZGY volumes can be prefetched to cache if


the volume is not larger than the available cache size.
Create external seismic files

1.Go to Tools in the menu bar, select System settings > Seismic tab and click the
Create external ZGY and SEGY files by default checkbox.

2.Specify the directory in which to store the files.


Seismic calculator
1.Right-click seismic volume, select Calculator

2.Enter the equation by typing and


selecting from the seismic
variables and calculator buttons

3.Use the blue drop in arrow to drop in


non-seismic objects (surfaces, functions)

4.Click Enter to execute


the equation; a new
virtual volume is stored
in Input pane
