2011 Seismic Workstation Packages

In support of the annual offshore acreage release process, Geoscience Australia has, over the last four years, provided seismic data in a 'workstation ready' package to allow industry to load the data directly into their interpretation platforms; saving considerable time and expense.

These workstation packages are available in GeoFrame (TM) 4.5, Kingdom® 8.5 and Landmark (TM) 2003 formats and are packaged on a 2TB external hard drive that contains:
- all available open-file 2D and 3D seismic in the release areas
- well logs, well completion reports, destructive analysis reports and tiff images of scanned well log plots.

Previously delivered limited interpretation over the North West Shelf for the 13 Geoscience Australia surveys are also included.

The 2011 data package contains approximately 47 500 km2 of 3D and 503 000 kms of 2D. 2D projects have been divided into six main regional areas over the acreage and the workstation package has a variety of culture data loaded including well header data, bathymetric, magnetic and gravity grids and/or geo referenced tiffs. This year the well logs for the Perth area have been loaded into the workstation package. All other well logs if available will be located on the 2TB drive as digital files or scanned tiffs. New seismic data for the 2011 release has been loaded primarily as 16 bit. 3D seismic surveys have generally been kept as separate projects except for the Victoria regional project which contains the 3D-Geo 50 metre phase matched merged grid for the Gippsland 3Ds.
