4.3.11 Import Seismic Data
Volumes and 2D Lines can be imported in the Survey menu from files in different modes:
- SEG-Y: By converting a SEG-Y file to an OpendTect file.
- SEG-Y scanned: By referencing (linking) a SEG-Y file to the survey without creating a new file.
- Simple file: From a regular ascii or binary file, with or without header.
- CBVS: By copying or linking an existing OpendTect (CBVS) volume.
- Petrel: Import seismic data from other software (depending on system setup)
- GPR-DZT: Import the files made by GSSI Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems in the 'DZT' format.
