Directory Structure for Organizing

           Data and Workflows

The following directory structure for organizing BHP_SU data and scripts has been used as the “standard” at BHP, and will be used for class exercises.

Directories are organized as a top-level project directory with sub-directories containing different data types and scripts.

Project Directory: /hou/data/D…/’username’/’project_name’

SEGY, SU, and BHP_SU Data: ${project_directory}/seismic

BHPIO Pathlist Files: ${project_directory}/int_datasets

Scripts: There are three types of scripts:

1) Shell scripts that you build and run. Keep these in ${project_directory}/scripts

2) XML scripts created with script_editor. Keep these in ${project_directory}/xml

3) Temporary scripts that are created by the script_editor. Keep these in ${project_directory}/tmp. These can be over-written each time they are created and used.

Horizon ASCII Files: ${project_directory}/horizons

BHPVIEW Savesets: ${project_directory}/int_savesets

Example:

/hou/data/D_152_001/ahmilb/tiger/seismic

/hou/data/D_152_001/ahmilb/tiger/int_datasets

/hou/data/D_152_001/ahmilb/tiger/scripts

/hou/data/D_152_001/ahmilb/tiger/tmp

/hou/data/D_152_001/ahmilb/tiger/xml

/hou/data/D_152_001/ahmilb/tiger/horizons

/hou/data/D_152_001/ahmilb/tiger/int_savesets

Class Directory Structure:

For this class, each student should make a project directory structure in

/hou/data/D_152_001/SU_Class

First make a directory that is your user name, e.g. ahmilb

Then cd to that directory and make a directory called class_project

Then cd to class_project and mkdir seismic int_datasets int_savesets horizons tmp xml scripts

If you cd to your ‘username’ directory and do ls –lR you should see the following:

ahmilb@houu64$ls -lR
