User Guide – Data Submission
Data Submission
The data submission page is used to submit data to the NDR via the self-service upload facility. To submit data on physical media (tape & disk), please use the ‘physical media submission ticket’ tab on the Data Submission page to initiate the process with NDR Support.
Only Company Data Managers can submit data via the NDR portal. A Company Administrator does not have submission privileges unless they also grant themselves Company Data Manager role in the absence of a separate Data Manager.
Find Project ID
All data needs to be submitted to a unique Project ID, which is used to group and assign a spatial location to related data. The Project ID is a fixed length and is made up of four parts following the pattern CCCCYYYYtypeNNNN.
Each project also has a current owner assigned to it. The Project ID can be determined by searching within the ‘Lookup Project ID by type’ table for projects associated with your company.
Within the ‘Lookup Project ID based on Project Type’ window, you have the option to select on one of five different project types.
Project Code |
Description |
well |
Wellbore projects |
seis |
Seismic projects |
mhaz |
Near surface high resolution site survey projects |
rems |
Remote sensing, potential, and diffusive field projects |
intp |
General studies projects |
When the project type has been selected, ‘seis’ in the example above, the results are presented in a Project ID table.
This table lists all the ‘seismic’ related projects associated with your company.
If the correct Project ID does not exist, then you have the option to create a new one. In the ‘Create a new Project ID’ you are requested to select the year and project type, with the project number NNNN being automatically assigned by the system. The 4 character numeric YYYY is the year in which the project was performed (if between years, choose earliest), this is not the acquisition year of the input datasets.
When a new Project ID is specified, you will be asked to provide Project ID location and Project ID information details.
For polygon coordinates please copy and paste these pairs in. They should be in Eastings and Northings (comma separated) of the CRS that you have chosen. Do not put geographical coordinates in (Latitude/Longitude).
For surveys, the polygon should be large enough to encompass all the data to be loaded to the ProjectID. Part of the QC checks performed when loading data is that the data fits inside the defined polygon. It should not be so large that it is not clear to a user the area that the survey covers.
By clicking the "Check" button the polygon will be plotted on the map and the map will zoom in, allowing you to check that you are in the correct area.
Once you are happy that all is where it should be you can click the "Submit" button which creates the new project.
Upload Data
Once a Project ID has been selected, or created, data can then be uploaded to it. A Project ID is selected by clicking on the appropriate row in the results table. When a selection is made, the row turns green to highlight the choice made.
You are now invited to upload your data. To help ensure that the intended data is selected, you are required to create a file in the selected folder that has a filename of the project ID, in this case, ‘TEST2020seis0003.txt’. This can easily be done by clicking on the ‘Download File’ tab, or alternatively, you can name the folder that you select to match the Project ID, TEST2020seis0003.
When selecting your folder that contains your files, it will not show the files in the folder.
You will be prompted to confirm the upload. Please note this is not the final upload to the NDR, you will still get a chance to choose files in the next step.
Confirm your selection by pressing the upload button. This action populates the upload table, advises you on the Type, Data and Name compliance of your selected files, and prompts you to set CTAGS (data classification tags).
File compliance will be indicated with a green cloud symbol with a tick inside, or a red cross if non-compliant. CTAGS can be set by selecting the appropriate tag from a pop-up window. The system is designed to recognise the file type and prompt with relevant tags for that file type.
In this example, file ‘1504_HY_stack.sgy’ is compliant and the CTAG has been set as ‘FINAL_POST_STACK_TIME’. File ‘1504_SUM_stack.sgy’ is also compliant with the submission requirements but is prompting you to set the tags. File ‘shots_RL60101212_2.sgy’ fails the check on the data compliance. By selecting the row for this file, additional information is reported on the reason for non-compliance.
Non-compliant files cannot be uploaded. In this example, only two rows can be checked for upload. The upload of these files is started by clicking the ‘Upload Selected Files’ tab.
You can add a description of the file you are uploading by clicking in the description column, and a text box will pop up allowing you to add information that might be useful.
Please do not close the browser or navigate away from this page during the upload process.
Upload progress is reported during the process, and a completion report issued when the job has finished. This report is downloaded in txt format to your downloads folder on completion.
