You must choose the right coordinate system correponding to your study area. Here it’s WGS84 UTM 22N, so it corresponds to EPSG code 32622
it opens two windows: On the left, this is the tree containing all imported/created items. On the right this is a base map (a map view).
At this stage, your project is empty and needs to be populated. In another article we will learn how to import seismic profiles with navigation file.
ENJOY !
