SEG-Y Reader/Writer

The SEG-Y Reader/Writer provides FME with direct access to data in SEG-Y format.

Overview

The SEG-Y format is a tape standard developed by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists. The first standard was developed in 1973 and many modern variations exist.

标准描述了layout of the binary data as follows:

  • a 3200-byte EBCDIC reel header
  • a 400-byte binary reel header
  • trace records consisting of:
    • a 240-byte binary trace header
    • 跟踪数据

By convention, these files use the.segy.sgyfilename extensions, but the SEG-Y reader can use any extension.

Reader Overview

The SEG-Y reader module produces an FME feature for each trace in the SEG-Y input dataset. The SEG-Y header is read and is represented by a single FME feature.

Writer Overview

The SEG-Y Writer writes all attributes of a feature to an SEG-Y file. Features of different types are written to different SEG-Y files.
