Scientific data, format descriptions and standards related to my work and publications.
From Petrel one can usually export ZMAP+
formatted grids in a given projection. It pays off to use a projection which is GDAL/PROJ compatible so that one can simply use the EPSG codes to reproject grids. I found it easier to use the GDAL-stack instead of going forth and back using GMT and/or GIS. Here's the basic steps I usually go through:
gdal_translate -of netCDF -a_srs EPSG:12345 INPUT_grd_UTM_zmap+.dat OUTPUT_grd_UTM.nc
(chose from GDAL's exhaustive raster drivers list)gdalinfo OUTPUT_grd_UTM.nc
gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 OUTPUT_grd_UTM.nc OUTPUT_grd_EPSG4326.nc
OUTPUT_grd_EPSG4326.nc
