You will learn about five elements of a data ecosystem. The class will cover an introduction to seismic, why seismic is hard to manage, seismic sets, seismic identity and version management, seismic locations, seismic records, regulatory reporting, planning, regulatory licensing and authorizations, seismic acquisition.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Recognize components of seismic data and the seismic life cycle
  • Cite why seismic data is hard to manage and is so complicated
  • Define what a seismic set is and list different types of seismic sets and important attributes
