Being a geologist or a geophysicist means that you have to manage a huge amount of data from various sources: 2D/3D seismic profiles/blocks, well logs, cores, field mapping, multibeam bathymetric maps etc…
This blog aims at providing tips and tricks for integrating all data in a single dataset, leading to a more efficient interpretation. So, don’t give up, save time, and follow the guide !
Your kingdom project is set to a reference coordinate system, such as UTM XX N, and you would like to import a sgy file with a different coordinate system. However, Kingdom doesn’t support various CRS… Lire la suite »Kingdom: how to import sgy with a different CRS ?
Coordinates are often embedded in the sgy file. However, the header doesn’t contain any details about the coordinate system. By chance, you know where the seismic profile is, or you have a map displaying GPS… Lire la suite »Unknown XY : what is the coordinate system ?
Sometimes I need to check bathymetric or topographic data. A good and fast way to do it is to use SURFER. XYZ data need to be gridded first. Click Grid–>Data and open the file. Select… Lire la suite »How to get a 2D/3D view using SURFER
I often see gridded maps with a supposed resolution of 100m, even 5m in some cases ! Let’s be clear: it’s almost impossible. I will explain why with an example based on gebco bathymetric data.… Lire la suite »Resolution of bathymetric maps
Do you know that your seismic data can be displayed as geological outcrops ? Try a pseudo-relief attribute. It can be calculated in kingdom and then exported to Petrel. Follow the guide ! In the… Lire la suite »Pseudo-Relief in both Kingdom and Petrel
In Petromod it’s possible to manually assign different facies for one single layer. So, first of all, the facies must be defined in the Facies Definition Table. Just add a line and provide a name.… Lire la suite »Petromod: Assign facies
Kingdom is a very useful software for managing large datasets. The first step here is to create a new project. Click on « create new project » Choose a name at your convenience. Remember that you must… Lire la suite »Create a new Kingdom project
Loading data in Petrel can be a nightmare ! Particularly the provided toolbox which is supposed to help… So, I’m using kingdom to load all seismic profiles I need and then I transfer to Petrel… Lire la suite »KINGDOM <- GATEWAY -> PETREL
Propagating horizons over large datasets can lead to multiple horizons . At some point you may realize that two different horizons are in fact the same. You don’t need to redo the propagation ! You… Lire la suite »PETREL: how to merge horizons ?
It’s very common to get this message when loading sgy data in Petrel. Don’t PANIC !!! It means that duplicate XY points were found either in sgy and/or in the nav file. Just remove them… Lire la suite »Duplicate trace found when loading sgy in Petrel or Kingdom
