Abstract

Since the original SEG Y Data Exchange Format (revision 0, reference page 45) was published in 1975 it has achieved widespread usage within the geophysical industry. This widespread usage has brought about many proprietary variations. Since the publication of SEG Y rev 0, the nature of seismic data acquisition, processing and seismic hardware has changed significantly. The introduction of 3-D acquisition techniques and high speed, high capacity recording media dictate the need for revisions to the SEG Y rev 0 format. The major changes introduced by SEG Y rev 1 are: standardizing the location of header information needed for current processing practices and defining a SEG Y data set as a byte stream format. The SEG Technical Standards Committee strongly encourages producers and users of SEG Y data sets to move to the revised standard in an expeditious fashion.
