The Power of Petrel 2009

Request a demo Upgrade to Petrel 2009 Click to view The Petrel inversion module is not restricted to a pure acoustic impedance inversion, but can be extended to any property with some inherent link with respect to the input seismic cube.

Unified seismic interpretation, geological modeling, and reservoir engineering software

Take a leap forward...

Integrate your workflows from exploration to development

• Fault and horizon interpretation workflow efficiencies—allow rapid assessment of exploration acreage. Run multiple iterations to rank and risk prospects, easily running uncertainties around velocity, structure, porosity, or any other relevant property.
• Advanced multipoint statistics—combine hard well data with analogs on real-world models in minutes rather than hours. New random Gaussian simulation enables rapid distribution of geologic properties based on acoustic impedance (through new Petrel inversion algorithm) or other seismic attributes, for big productivity gains in understanding rock and fluid properties of the subsurface.
• New science and approaches for fast performance and state-of-the-art scalability—leverage all the latest computing capability for maximum return on your hardware investment.

Create powerful workflows that impact your business

• Unrivalled scalability and performance—maximize investment in hardware by leveraging latest graphics, multicores, and 64-bit memory addressing.
• Exploration through development in a single canvas—improve collaboration and eliminate knowledge gaps created by multiple overlapping applications.
• End-to-end uncertainty analysis—more accurate risk analysis and prospect ranking.
• Customizable workflows—integrate propriety IP to generate unique workflows.
• Functionality upgrades—capture knowledge, repeat workflows, and update models while drilling.

Improve productivity with powerful next-generation geophysical workflows

• Fast, intuitive seismic interpretation—allow rapid prospect identification.
• Integrated seismic inversion workflow—improve understanding of rock properties.
• Enhanced domain conversion—increase performance and build velocity models from stacking velocities.
