Low-frequency vibrator, wide-band, wide-azimuth and high-density, high-efficiency acquisition technologies have been put into wide application thanks to the continual accuracy requirement of oil exploration and development. At the same time, oil seismic exploration has entered an era of big data, leading to a series of challenges of quality control, data processing, safety storage and management. For this reason, Sinopec has developed a "π -Frame seismic data processing and interpretation integration software platform" based on the Hadoop big data architecture. In this paper, we first introduce the characteristics of big data in oil seismic exploration. Then we describe the basic framework of the π-Frame platform. Finally we illustrate the application of big data in oil seismic exploration and prospect its potential developments.
