Python data converters for XYZ files to Evo geoscience objects

Seequent Developer Portal • Seequent Community • Seequent website

Evo

Evo is a unified platform for geoscience teams. It enables access, connection, computation, and management of subsurface data. This empowers better decision-making, simplified collaboration, and accelerated innovation. Evo is built on open APIs, allowing developers to build custom integrations and applications. Our open schemas, code examples, and SDK are available for the community to use and extend.

Evo is powered by Seequent, a Bentley organisation.

Pre-requisites

• Python virtual environment with Python 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12
• Git

Installation

pip install evo-data-converters-xyz

XYZ

XYZ (.xyz) is a simple ASCII file format where each line contains comma-separated coordinate values. The converter supports the following XYZ variants:

Type	Format	Example
Points	3 numeric columns (x, y, z)	10.2,10.2,10.3
Binary	2 numeric columns	12.2,12.3
Geochemistry	A label followed by 3 numeric columns	C,10.1,10.2,10.2

Header lines (any line not starting with a digit, ., +, or -) are automatically skipped.

Implementations

The XYZ converter currently supports:

• Reading – Parse a .xyz file into a NumPy float64 array of shape (N, 3).
• Type detection – Automatically identify the XYZ variant (Points, Binary, or Geochemistry) from the first data line.
• Parquet export – Save the parsed coordinates to a Parquet file with three float64 columns (x, y, z).
• Publishing – Import the XYZ file as a pointset-3d-schema into an Evo workspace.

Publish geoscience objects from an XYZ file(s)

The evo-sdk-common Python library can be used to sign in. After successfully signing in, the user can select an organisation, an Evo hub, and a workspace. Use evo-objects to get an ObjectAPIClient, and evo-data-converters-xyz to convert your file.

Have a look at the code-samples/convert-xyz.ipynb notebook for an example of how to publish XYZ files.
