Abstract

Oil & gas exploration is increasingly becoming complicated and different types of seismic surveys are being conducted regularly to support such exploration. Processing of data acquired during seismic surveys, are depending upon the field parameters in many ways. These requirements of processing are fulfilled by storing the parameters in internationally accepted formats. This storing facility not only supports the processing need but also creates the possibility to store them for future requirements. Thus this facility is called Shell Processing Support (SPS) and is very effective to arrange the seismic parameters data into files, formatted in a specific layout called SPS format [Appendix 3,4,5]. These files can be transferred from one computer to another very easily. These seismic parameters include the field geometry, shot / receiver point information, elevation, static corrections etc.. Now a days the processing of the seismic data requires the presence of these files and thus their generation are increasingly becoming more and more important. Here we shall discuss about a PC based package, which takes seismic acquisition parameters in input and generates the SPS formatted files. This package was designed in PC based Microsoft Windows-XP environment so that it can work with data stored in widely used data entry spread sheet MS-EXCEL, which is commonly used to store data in the Geophysical Field Parties of ONGC.
