Can you give me workflow of exporting the velocity volume that I created in VelPAK to import it in TKS to use it for dynamic depth conversion?

You can generate a velocity volume from your model using the “Velocity” tab, then the “Volume” fly-out.

First, select the survey using the “Survey” option; this will cause the survey extents to be filled in the remainder of the dialog.  You can then manually adjust the Inline & Xline Min/Max values for the volume you wish to generate.

Time_Increment is the sample rate in milliseconds the volume will be generated at, and Time_Max is the time in milliseconds to generate the volume down to.  Adjust these to match your seismic volumes in the Kingdom project.

Change Dimension to Average, as average velocity is the most convenient velocity volume for using in Kingdom, then set the filename in the File field.  Press Apply to generate the volume as a SEG Y file.  You can also use the Batch Execution (lightning flash) icon to generate the volume in batch, using multiple CPUs.

Once the volume generation is complete, there will be a SEG Y file in the “volume” folder of the model directory.  You can import this into Kingdom as a seismic data type using “Surveys > Import SEGY Y…” in the usual fashion; use the default options for the SEG Y import, but ensure you store the volume as 16-bit or 32-bit, as 8-bit isn’t good enough to hold the dynamic range of velocities accurately.
