Unprecedented access to extremely large seismic datasets
It is increasingly important to have an accurate regional understanding of the geology and regional structure of your basin. Petrel seismic software is specifically designed to take advantage of the latest advances in PC compute technology, providing unprecedented access to extremely large seismic datasets while offering a remarkably interactive user experience.
Scalable interpretation at your desktop
Through smart disk roaming technology and bricked seismic rendering it is possible to visualize and interpret regional exploration datasets in both 2D and 3D at your desktop without the need to invest in huge amounts of RAM. Users are able to visualize and interpret data directly from the disk file with a performance quality traditionally associated with applications where data is loaded into memory.
Parallel processing enables rapid analysis
Parallel processing of geophysical workflows from volume visualization to attribute analysis is designed to take full advantage of the rapid development of multiprocessor desktop workstations and provide massive performance enhancements-freeing up the machine and allowing the user to become more productive.
Linux cluster processing capability for your largest datasets
For those wanting to interpret and analyze even larger 3D seismic surveys, there is the optional Petrel Seismic Server, a back-end Linux cluster accessed from the Petrel interface that enables regional basin studies over tens of thousands of square kilometers without ever having to leave your desktop. This solution provides unrivalled performance on basin study workflows and remote multiprocessor attribute calculations.
Benefits
3D surveys and thousands of 2D seismic lines can be visualized together to improve understanding of regional geology.
Performance and image quality improves with faster hardware and will continue to improve as hardware develops.
Full integration with reservoir modeling and reservoir engineering domains provides a complete understanding of your basin.
