Data Validation & QC Services

To ensure accurate and successful validation of the data transcription activity, there are a multitude of quality control procedures that can be performed on data.  In most circumstances, exploration data sets are predominantly field and processed seismic data.  Each of these data types requires a different approach, particularly where remastering has been performed. 

We break our QC data services components into two main sections; firstly “Data Validation” and secondly the “Validation of Tapes and Media Condition” (including structural integrity). 

Quality Control Reports

The following QC products can be produced:

• A summary report of tapes that have passed and failed QC and reasons for any deficiencies.
• A summary listing for each output media/file, (both copies) containing total files, file sizes, etc.
• For SEG-Y output, a listing as an ASCII text tile of the EBCDIC header for each SEG-Y file.
• Near trace and shot gathers can be viewed as part of the QC.
• A final written report.
• A complete set of tape images (photographs of the output media.
