Every day, your organisation receives a flood of seismic and well data, and without a consistent way to catalog and retrieve it, important requests can sit in inboxes for days.
Exploration Archives is a centralized software system for your geological, geophysical, seismic data and survey data to help your data management team and geoscientists quickly find the information they need, share it with the right people, and keep projects moving.
Load, organise, and track exploration datasets from any storage system. The Exploration Archives Seismic and Well Data modules let you:
Stop searching spreadsheets, folder structures or legacy tape indexes. Use the powerful Data Request and Unified Search Engine modules to:
Automatically generate compressed previews of seismic files that include live trace outlines, amplitude maps, coordinates, s, time sections, EBCDIC header, and SEG-Y attributes. Use the SEG-Y SnapShot™ & SEG-Y Scan modules to:
See your seismic and well data in a spatial context through an integrated map that connects with your GIS tools. With the Map View & GIS modules you can:
Support acquisition, processing, and delivery workflows with tools that keep stakeholders aligned. With the Admin Console & Project Tracker modules, you can:
Make physical files more accessible with a real-time database of items in your warehouse. With the MobileMedia™ scanner, you can:
Different roles benefit from Exploration Archives in distinct ways. For instance:
Data Managers use it to easily access, organise and deliver data faster.
Explorationists use it to request and track the data they need.
IT leaders use it to implement secure, scalable workflows while reducing storage requirements.
Business analysts and partners use it to quickly find and order exploration data.
Exploration Archives is designed for flexible deployment and seamless integration. It connects with existing network infrastructure and existing geoscience applications, including:
Oracle
Esri
FME
WCF
Aspera
Ocean
INT
Microsoft SQL Server
Geophysical data management software helps organisations to manage, manipulate, store and organise large volumes of geological and geophysical data with precision. It keeps seismic and well datasets organised, discoverable and ready for use, enabling teams to find files, access multiple repositories through a single system, perform quality control and track project fulfilment quickly. Modern systems also integrate with popular geoscience tools, support flexible deployment and enforce security and governance to ensure the data remains accurate and accessible.
Look for a platform that can handle the high volume and complexity of seismic and well data. The right solution should integrate with your existing geoscience applications and network infrastructure, providing a single access point to online, near‑line and offline data while maintaining data integrity and security. It should also accommodate custom workflows and user roles so you can tailor processes, manage user profiles and define metadata standards. Finally, ensure the architecture supports distributed, multi‑user access so global teams can collaborate without latency or data‑silos
Automated quality‑control processes are built into the workflow. During data migration and cataloguing, SEG‑Y files are checked to ensure they meet format standards, and metadata is extracted to improve traceability. This reduces human error and ensures the data your teams retrieve is accurate and ready for analysis.
The platform manages seismic and well data in a variety of digital and physical formats. Snapshots generated by SEG‑Y Scan include live trace outlines, amplitude maps and SEG‑Y attributes, allowing you to preview datasets before loading them fully. You can also attach documents and link files to projects, surveys or fields to maintain context.
Exploration Archives uses extensive storage and indexing protocols to support a powerful search engine. Users can search by data category, free‑text terms or geographic location, and the system surfaces relevant data from both online and offline storage without the need to cross‑reference spreadsheets or maps.
Yes. The platform integrates with existing network infrastructure and aligns with geoscience applications such as Esri ArcGIS. A distributed architecture makes it easy to connect to storage platforms anywhere and to integrate with other Petrosys Group solutions like Interica Data Centre.
SEG‑Y Scan is a tool within Exploration Archives that creates compressed snapshots of seismic data files. These snapshots give you enough information to determine whether a file is relevant to your project, so you only download and store what you need. This lowers storage costs and accelerates data selection.
Yes. The Exploration Archives distributed architecture supports on-premise, cloud or hybrid hosting with secure multi-user access anywhere.
