Features of Metaseis
Metaseis has been built from the ground up to give our customers a service that adapts to their exact data needs. From uncovering issues in vintage formats to handling vast volumes of processed data, its flexible and customisable tools are designed to meet unique challenges and keep pace with evolving standards.
Â
Developed in-house by Moveout, Metaseis has been refined over years of real-world use, enabling tailored remastering solutions and continuous improvements. Java-based and platform-independent, it runs anywhere, anytime - futureproof without the need for porting.
Technical Capabilities
TRANSCRIBE
Metaseis is compatible with both vintage and modern Linux operating systems, enabling the connection of any tape drive regardless of cabling type - from SCSI to FC and SAS. Read Any Tape As Tap File: In this mode Metaseis reads from tape to disk, irrespective of the data format... SEG-A, SEG-B, SEG-C, SEG-D, SEG-Y, ASCII, EBCDIC, LIS, LAS, Proprietary Formats etc. The output is a tape image file that can subsequently be decoded into the appropriate format. Essential for reading 9-track tapes. Difficult and damaged tapes can be re-started and run from start to finish in one pass. Read SEG-D: Automatically rename SEG-D files and sort to LINESEQ directories. Read SEG-Y. Read SEG-RODE. Read SEG-B. Read P1/90. Read P1/84. Read SPS. Write to SEG-D 2.1 or 3.0. Write to SEG-Y 1.0 or 2.1.
ANALYSE
SEG-D Dump - General, Extended, External, Summary, Trace Headers. SEG-Y Dump - EBCDIC, Binary, Trace Headers. SEG-Y Show - Immediate view of first & last 30 trace headers of a file & EBCDIC. SEG-Y Diff - Create difference file between SEG-Y data. SEG-D, SEG-Y, P1 Reports - Trawl through multi directory libraries creating customisable reports.
CONDITION
Automatically rename SEG-Y files using info from EBCDIC, Binary or Trace Headers. Edit SEG-Y EBCDIC and Binary Headers. Edit SEG-Y Trace Headers. Concatenate SEG-Y files. P1 file split - Split and rename individual P1 nav files from a single concatenated file. Crop SEG-Y files - By polygon, trace header values, time. TAR/ZIP SEG-D and NAV for UK NDR upload compliance.
VISUALISE
P1 Navigation attributes for a whole survey e.g. Water Depth, Day Shot, Azimuth. Shot & Rec positions for a single P1 file, play as a movie to visualise feathering. Seismic 3D cubes and slices. Seismic 2D view arbitrary lines through 2D surveys to QC miss ties. Velocities. LMO nav-merge QC.
NAV-MERGE PACK
