Validate and Publish Geophysics Data

Learn how to validate and publish Geophysics data in VRIFY Prepare so it is available for use in VRIFY Present.

Overview

Before Geophysics data can be added to a 3D Slide in VRIFY Present, it must first be processed in VRIFY Prepare.

Magnetotellurics, Magnetics, Gravity, Electromagnetics, DC/IP, and Radiometrics data pass through a validation workflow. When you add one of these files to the workspace, VRIFY Prepare automatically adds a Validate step and a Publish step. To complete processing, you validate the file, review the results, and publish it.

Image files in Geophysics Photos and Geophysics Sections follow a Validate and Publish workflow. PDF files are published directly without validation.


Prepare and Upload Data

Upload and sort your files into the correct subfolders in Files before starting this workflow. See Upload Files to VRIFY.

Subfolder

Preferred Formats

Magnetotellurics

.ers, .tif, .tiff

Magnetics

.ers, .tif, .tiff

Gravity

.ers, .tif, .tiff

Electromagnetics

.ers, .tif, .tiff

DC/IP

.ers, .tif, .tiff

Radiometrics

.ers, .tif, .tiff

Geophysics Photos

.png, .jpeg, .GeoTIFF

Geophysics Sections

.pdf

The preferred formats above are the most common. Each survey subfolder (Magnetotellurics, Magnetics, Gravity, Electromagnetics, DC/IP and Radiometrics) also processes:

  • Raster and grid: .ers, .ers.xml, .tif, .tiff, .grd

  • Vector: shapefiles (.shp, .shx, .dbf), .kml, .kmz, and standalone .geojson, .parquet and .gpkg files

  • DXF and DWG: .dxf, .dwg

DXF and DWG files in Geophysics folders follow the same Validate and Publish workflow as other survey data. They are not processed as 3D Objects. Each DXF, DWG, GeoJSON, Parquet and GeoPackage file appears as its own row in the workspace.

The Other subfolder accepts the same formats, plus .jpg, .png and .jpeg image files.
