Abstract

The collection consists of field, processed and navigation seismic data plus acquisition processing and interpretation reports. The collection is derived from the marine seismic field programs undertaken by Geoscience Australia, Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) and Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) since the 1980s. Data used by petroleum industry for exploration, GA for frontier petroleum programs and academia for research. 80% of data requests from industry.

Lineage

The collection consists of field, processed and navigation seismic data plus acquisition processing and interpretation reports. The collection is derived from the marine seismic field programs undertaken by Geoscience Australia, AGSO and BMR since the 1980s. Data used by petroleum industry for exploration, GA for frontier petroleum programs and academia for research. 80% of data requests from industry. Data is in varying states of organisation. Currently Surveys taskforce is undertaking a data rationalisation program that will bring survey header and navigation data into one database. Almost all data is now being remastered onto modern archival standard tapes. The remastering program should be concluded in 2011. Migration to Repository Digital Data Store provides a backup for holdings and QC of data on existing tapes. Metadata: Six databases hold metadata for discovery of data and management of assets, these include PIMS, Pedin, Ozmar, Snip, NGDC, Mardat and flat files in excel. Key Clients: Industry, Internal Geoscience Australia (GA), Academic Research.
