Petrel Workflow for 2D Seismic Data

The document describes a workflow for exporting 2D seismic lines from Petrel projects as SEGY files and then relinking them to reduce duplication and free up disk space. The workflow extracts line names, exports internal 2D seismic lines as SEGY, reimports the lines into the same folders, and deletes the originals. This allows sharing of 2D seismic between projects while maintaining connections to interpretations.

The Workflow

The workflow extracts the line names and exports the internal 2D seismic lines as segy to a shared folder. It
then reimports the lines and deletes the original. Since the lines are reimported into the same folders, the survey
remains the same and the interpretation will be connected to the new line.

1. Insert the survey


2. Define the path to place the seismic
3. Define the file extension

If you still have the original seismic it might be better to import the original rather than exporting the 8 bit data.
You then use the same principle creating the file name, skip the export process and import the original lines.
