Survey 97 : Operations Report for the Joint BMR/Woodside Petroleum High Resolution Seismic

A 1990 joint seismic acquisition program by BMR and Woodside Petroleum in Australia's Dampier Sub-Basin. The survey collected 352 km of high-resolution seismic data and 530.6 km of water column geochemical data over five days in October 1990. The data is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Model subsurface geology based on the 352 km of high-resolution seismic lines.
• Analyze marine geochemical anomalies based on the 530.6 km of water column data.
• Study the Dampier Sub-Basin's structure using the 17 agreed survey lines.
• Assess data acquisition quality for historical seismic programs.

Strengths

• Includes 352 km of high-resolution seismic data with 336 km as full stack data.
• Contains an additional 530.6 km of water column geochemical data.
• Data quality was reported as good at the time of acquisition.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data files are in PDF and HTML formats, which may require conversion for computational analysis.
• Row count and specific data structure are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
