Identifying and recovering hydrocarbons requires an accurate, high-resolution geological model of the reservoir structure and stratigraphy. The Petrel geology capabilities, all seamlessly unified with the geophysical and reservoir engineering tools, enable an integrated study by providing an accurate static reservoir description that evolves with the reservoir.

  • Facies Modeling
    Estimate your facies distributions using a variety of pixel and object-based stochastic and deterministic methods.

  • Petrophysical Modeling
    Distribute continuous petrophysical properties into your 3D model using an assortment of algorithms, including 1, 2, and 3D trends; facies models; and seismic data. Also, experience the performance of parallel algorithm for these purposes. (New in 2009)

  • Well Correlation
    Display and organize your logs in a flexible 2D visualization environment. Edit well tops interactively in 2D or 3D and estimate logs using the powerful well log calculator.

  • Fault Analysis
    Calculate fluid flow properties and sealing potential for faults in a Petrel model. Use results directly in simulation without leaving Petrel.

  • Fracture Modeling
    Create discrete fracture networks for fracture reservoirs based on well log interpretation and/or seismic data in 3D and integrate them seamlessly in the reservoir model. Upscale the fracture properties to the simulation model and use results directly in simulation.

Petrel Utility Systems
  • Process Manager and Uncertainty Workflow Editor
    Evaluate the risk and understand the uncertainty of your reservoir using the Uncertainty Workflow Editor, or create and modify your own workflow to achieve maximum understanding of your field.

  • Classification and Estimation
    Use neural network technology for estimating well logs, surfaces, seismic volumes, and 3D property models.

  • Data Analysis
    Understand your data before you start modeling and validate your model afterwards. Features include data transformations, trend and distribution analysis, interactive modeling of variograms, and histogram and crossplot generation.

  • Surface Imaging
    Display images such as scanned maps, attribute maps, seismic time-slices, or satellite images draped over structural models.

Database and Application Connectivity
  • Ocean
    Create and execute plug-in modules directly in Petrel.

  • OpenSpirit Plug-In
    Seamlessly integrate your logs, markers, seismic volumes and interpretations in OpenWorks, GeoFrame and Finder with Petrel.
