1.1 PROBLEMS OF THE STUDY
In the search for hydrocarbon,
the initial question had always been where exactly under the surface of
the earth are the anticlines or the structures within which the
hydrocarbon can be accumulated.
This question is answered in part by
seismic data acquisition and in the main by seismic data processing.
Acquisition means the acquiring of the raw data while processing
transforms and refines these data to level where the above question is
answered.
The problem is how can this information collected from the
field be presented and protected from destruction. That is why the tape
librarians were introduced to help in managing these tapes, but as time
goes on the number of tapes acquired becomes so large in number that
the librarians cannot manage then effectively. This has created many
problems for the management.
The solution to the problem
will lie in removing any factors that inhibit the ability of the
librarian to make the storage and the retrieval of tapes easy in the
organization.
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
This research
will be very useful to both students, individuals, co-operate bodies and
general public as a whole who are either engaged or way wish to engage
in seismic date acquisition and processing in the future.
The purposes are as follows:
1. Ensuring the acquisition of good quality seismic data in an effective manner.
2.
Ensuring that all field tapes collected from the field are sent to the
processing center and the seismic data in the tapes are presented in a
form that is convenient for geological interpretation.
3. To ensure that processing sequence are followed and a good result suitable for acceptance.
4.
Ensuring that the processed seismic sections which is the final output
of a processed field tape is used to identify specific areas for future
field appraisal development.
1.3 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
In
this research work the study was limited to the use of Electronic Data
processing (EDP) on the information management control in seismic Data
processing.
1.4 LIMITATION
Due to the work load, enough
research could not be made to other known seismic data acquisition and
processing organizations. But hope that the little information obtained
is applicable to all other seismic data organizations.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Oil industry is a prominent aspect of modern economy and as it were exploration activities are very important for continuity of oil production.The exploration activities involve the acquisition of data and processing. As exploration activities increases in the modern world, the computer manufacturers are also working hard to produce super computer and their processing that are involved.Many firms are emerging fast and of course modern firms make use of computers, especially the mainframe compu ...
