SEAM Phase I Data About the Data | |
SEAM Phase I Earth Models and synthetic data sets have been designed and developed by bringing together the combined intellectual expertise of the best minds, talents, and experience in the industry. These results could not have been accomplished without the significant contributions from the representatives of the Participating companies. About the data The SEAM data provides: - Benchmarking tools for industry to:
- test algorithms for imaging and inversion,
- better understand features and artifacts in real images, and
- explore trade-offs in acquisition methodologies.
- Teaching tools for academia to train the next generation of seismic processing and imaging experts.

Non-Seismic Sets: Gravity, CSEM, and MT View full catalog Why they are available The SEG Advanced Modeling Program (SEAM) was launched in 2007 as a partnership between industry and SEG designed to advance geophysical science and technology through the construction of subsurface models and generation of synthetic data sets. The Phase I project was initiated at that same time with the primary goal of designing and generating synthetic model 3D geophysical data that represents exploration and subsurface characterization challenges to the consortium members. After a 2 year proprietary period held by the Participating companies, the SEAM data is made available to the public to meet the broader needs of the geophysical industry. Data formats and sizes Five earth models were generated in SEAM Phase I to simulate a realistic earth model of a salt canopy region of the Gulf of Mexico. The models range in size from 1.44 GB to 426 GB. The data sets are available ranging in size from approximately 4 GB to 1.6 TB. The majority of the data sets are compressed, and decompression codes are included with each set. The listed license fees are based on distribution media of external USB drives or, for smaller sets, DVDs or flash drives. Special pricing options Other media may be available, but will require individual pricing. If you are interested in other media, contact SEAM to get an estimate of the licensing fees. |
