DDO Seismic Data Archiving

Advanced Archival Systems
The primary benefit of the DDO system is its ability to archive seismic data and place them online for easy and cost efficient retrieval. Magnetic tape, documents, work station files and virtually any project data can be stored together as a data set on a wide variety of inexpensive and reliable archive medias. Data that was previously stored off-site or in file cabinets and map rooms can now be accessed quickly and efficiently. Our system outputs all information entered during archiving in an ASCII file for easy input into a database. Quality control software ensures that data output to tape or disc is checked and any problems are addressed as the data is archived. Recovery techniques can be applied and many problems with existing data due to age or mishandling can be repaired. The archived data sets can be easily integrated to provide on-line or near on-line access with existing data management systems.

Additional Services
  • Bit for bit transfer: various data formats such as SEG-A, SEG-B, SEG-C, SEG-D and SEG-Y are reproduced on cartridge, optical disk, CD-ROM, and disk pool exactly as they were originally recorded.
  • Multiplexed tapes can be demultiplexed and reformatted during compression, reducing further processing requirements. and reformatted during compression, reducing further processing requirements.
  • Data tapes containing signal compression techniques, IFP, Binary Gain, or others can be converted to a full 32 bit data range in standard IBM computer exchange formats.
  • Geophysical tapes can be resampled to lower sample rates for conservation of computer processing time or to match software or hardware limitations.
  • SEG-Y headers can be edited adding additional information such as shotpoint and survey coordinates for workstation loading.
  • A complete database allows access to archived information instantly for retrieval purposes.
