Purpose: This data release includes boomer 3D seismic data collected in 2012 within San Luis Obispo Bay, central California as part of PG&E’s Central California Seismic Imaging Project (Pacific Gas and Electric Company [PG&E], 2014). The U.S. Geological Survey conducted advanced post-processing on the data to remove noise and improve overall image quality, following the workflow described by Kluesner and Brothers, 2016. Following the generation of the cleaned 3D volume, data were exported using the OpendTect software package. The 3D data volume is in SEG-Y format and are provided here.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Seismic data were acquired using a triple-plate boomer source operated at 1.75 kJ and the P-Cable streamer system. Quality control was conducted during the collection process. Completeness_Report: Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Position data were provided by a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) navigation receiver. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Depths shown in the seismic data volumes are in milliseconds (round trip travel time) and are referenced to sea level. Vertical resolution is approximately 1 millisecond and vertical accuracy is approximately plus or minus 4 milliseconds depending on sea state. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Seismic data were acquired using a triple-plate boomer source operated at 1.75 kJ and the P-Cable streamer system. The 3D data show a frequency range of approximately 100-700 Hz, with a dominant frequency of 200-225 Hz (PG&E, 2014). The P-Cable system consisted of 14, 8-channel digital streamers with 6.25 m hydrophone group spacing (Nishenko and others, 2012; Ebuna and others, 2013). Data were sampled at 0.25 ms with a record length of 0.75 s two-way travel-time. Seismic processing steps conducted by Fugro Consultants included quality control, tidal corrections, velocity analysis, NMO correction, stacking, surface related multiple elimination, deconvolution, crossline statics, and pre-stack migration (Fugro Consultants Inc., 2012; PG&E, 2014). However, upon public release and inspection by the USGS, significant high-frequency noise was observed, limiting the interpretation of imaged fault structures (Kluesner and Brothers, 2016). Process_Date: 2012 Process_Step: Process_Description: The publically released 3D seismic data were downloaded and analyzed by the USGS, and a post-stack data-conditioning workflow was designed to reduce noise and enhance the overall quality. The data conditioning workflow used on this dataset followed that of Kluesner and Brothers, 2016. Initially, data were imported into the OpendTect software package and a dip-steering volume was calculated using a 1x1x1 (inline, crossline, sample interval) calculation window. Following dip-steering calculation a median filter was applied with a 1x1x1 stepout, resulting in a smoothed 3D volume of dip and azimuth information for all seismic events. The dip-steered median filter was then applied to the data between 0 and 0.5 s TWTT, with a 1x1 (inline, crossline) stepout. Filtered results were then subtracted from the original data to produce a volume with significant noise suppression. Both random and apparent acquisition noise were suppressed, while enhancing laterally continuous events. Following generation of the cleaned data volume the results were exported as a new 3D SEG-Y file using the OpendTect software package.
