Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes obtaining a digital seismic file, obtaining a digital seismic file, and performing autodetection of parameters of the digital seismic file. The method further includes extracting seismic data from the digital seismic file according to the parameters to generate normalized seismic data. The method further includes scanning the normalized seismic data to obtain metadata that includes geographic file boundaries and mapping the normalized seismic data to a parent virtual survey based at least in part on the geographic file boundaries being in a geographic region of a parent virtual survey. The method additionally includes storing, in a target store, the normalized seismic data and metadata, the normalized seismic data in a stored relationship with the parent virtual survey in the target store.
