Importing Seismic Horizon Data

After loading your 3D seismic volumes, ZoneVu lets you load the related Seismic Horizons for use in the Viewers. Once a Horizon has been loaded into ZoneVu, you can create Structural Surfaces and Zones (Geobodies) from these Seismic Horizons. Please see the related Geomodel How-To articles found at the bottom of this article for more information.

Loading Horizons

• Navigate to the “Horizons” tab in the Seismic folder and click the “Create” button to open the “Create Horizon” pop-up

1. Enter a name, Symbol (Shorthand name), Color (Optional), and Interpreter (Optional).

2. Click the “OK” button to create the Horizon Folder

• Select the Horizon you want to import data into and click the “Import” button to open the “Horizon Import” pop-up

1. Drag & Drop or Choose the data file

   • Note: Inline, Crossline, Depth (XYZ) is our preferred format

   • Supported Formats:

     • Delimited Text: Comma, space, tab, pipe, or tilde

     • Excel Workbook

     • SeisWorks Line Trace

     • GeoGraphix ASCII

     • GeoQuest Card 7

2. If ZoneVu can auto-identify the required data, you will see a blue “All Required Columns Mapped” appear on the Importer; otherwise use the dropdowns on the Column headers to identify the required columns.

3. Click the “Import” button to import the horizon data

• After the Horizon data has been loaded, ZoneVu will calculate the Min, Max, & Average depth of the Horizon to help you QC the import.

  • Note: You can edit or update this Horizon at any time by clicking the "Edit" or "Import" button.
