Uploading Seg-D Data

Uploading Seismic Data

To upload seismic data, first you must select the "Submit Data" option from the drop down menu on the Data Submission tab.

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.

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.  

You select the Project ID you wish to upload the Seg-D to by clicking it, the row will then turn green. The map will zoom to the location of the seismic survey.

You then have to choose the file location by selecting "choose files"

To 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 ‘TEST2021seis0002.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, TEST2021seis0002.

The recommended folder structure for upload can be found here 

Data files now has to be loaded in a set order - more information on this is available here

When selecting the folder that contains your files, it will not show the files in the folder.

After clicking upload you will get the following popup 

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.

Select the file you wish to upload, providing it is compliant, as indicated by the three green clouds. You may add a file description by clicking in the "description" box

Once you are happy you can select to upload the selected files, you can upload multiple files to the same ProjectID.

The following window then pops up

The system splits the file into blocks for upload and you can see the progress of these block uploads. You can also see the time that the last block was loaded, upload is not linear. If you receive the message "page is unresponsive" simply click wait.

Once the upload has been completed you will be asked to save a txt file that contains a log of what you have just uploaded.

You can review your uploaded files by selecting the "Review Submission(s)" option in the drop down menu.
