Soda Lake Geothermal: Raw 3D and 3C Seismic-Reflection Data from 2010 Survey

Description

This dataset contains seismic-reflection records created in 2010 around the Soda Lake geothermal field near Fallon, Nevada. The data was collected by the power plant operator at the time, Magma Energy (CYRQ Energy in 2024). This was a petroleum-industry-quality three-dimensional (3D) and three-component (3C) seismic reflection survey covering about 36 square miles. Most of the volume of this raw data set consists of 3D seismic records saved as hundreds of SEG-Y files, with one 3D seismic record file per vibrator source location, called "shot records". The data is in SEG-Y format, with each shot record containing three geophone components for all the geophone sensors active for that shot. In addition to the raw data, provided below are folders containing all of the field logs, metadata, and survey reports produced during the project.

37 This Python notebook is designed for anyone working with seismic data. It simplifies the process of handling SEG-Y files by extracting important metadata, analyzing the data, and creating visual representations. Whether you're a seasoned geophysicist or new to the field, this tool helps make sense of complex seismic information, providing clear insights and visualizations to support your work. https://nbviewer.org/github/chaolu-NBMG/Geoscience_toolbox/blob/main/Seismic/sgy_data_process.ipynb
