Add a survey or product
Select Version of EA Desktop:
Exploration Archives uses the coverage defined in a cutout to calculate the fees and generate license documentation. The cutout tool provides a variety of features for making selections on a map and creating the cutout.
To prepare for creating a cutout, you must first add the seismic survey and/or the product files that the cutout will be derived from. The functionality for adding surveys and products is available in the Editor View. Opening the Editor View is part of the steps in creating a new license (refer to Creating a license). Alternatively, you can open the Editor View from an existing license.
From the Editor View, the lower panel displays the Related Records information and allows you to add Seismic, the associated Products and the Cutouts.
From the Editor View you can add a full survey or select particular products within a survey.
There may be a rare case when starting a new license that all the fields are not available. If this is the case, check the Map panel to make sure that the correct map format appears in the drop-down window. If it isn’t the correct format, use the drop-down to change the map to the correct one.
