HI,
try code below: Technically this should work. You should know little about how to handle with python and the code should work. Install segyio, h5py and numpy.
Maybe numpy 1.26.4 works here and numpy 2 will not work correctly. But check at your end. _________________________________________________________________________________
import h5py
import segyio
import numpy as np
# --- 1. Read HDF5 ---
with h5py.File('my_seismic_input.h5', 'r') as hf:
# Assuming data is in '/traces' and headers in '/trace_headers'
traces = hf['/traces'][:] # Read all traces into memory (adjust for large files)
headers = hf['/trace_headers'][:] # Read headers (structured array)
# Extract metadata as needed
# --- 2. Prepare for SEG-Y ---
num_traces, num_samples = traces.shape
# Create a blank SEG-Y file structure
with segyio.create('output.segy', (num_traces, num_samples)) as f:
# --- 3. Write Headers (Simplified) ---
f.text[0] = b'Converted from HDF5' # Example text header
# Map headers to binary_header (complex mapping required)
# f.binary_header.trace_count = num_traces
# --- 4. Write Traces ---
for i in range(num_traces):
f.trace[i] = traces[i, :] # Write trace data
# Map headers[i] to f.header[i] (requires careful field mapping)
# e.g., f.header[i][segyio.TraceField.TRACENO] = i
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This should export your hdf5 file to segy.
Best regards

Below is a link which could help you.
