Petrel seismic interpretation software seamlessly combines the rigorous workflows of interpreting in 2D with the visual and performance benefits that only 3D volume interpretation can provide. You also gain the unique advantage of an interpretation environment unified with geology, reservoir modeling, and reservoir engineering domains, giving the ability to rapidly interpret seismic data and compare the results with other data in your project. Effortlessly moving from interpretation to structural model building to property modeling and back eliminates the gaps and inevitable knowledge and data loss of traditional systems that require handoffs from one technical domain to the next.
Benefits
Combines visual and performance advantages of 3D seismic interpretation with the traditional 2D views for accuracy and detailed event picking, enabling advanced 3D visualization at every desktop
Enables rapid, detailed event interpretation using accurate manual and powerful automated tracking with a wide range of control and editing options
Offers the unique advantage of interpreting seismic in a truly unified environment
Provides scalable desktop interpretation from regional basin study workflows down to reservoir detail
2D Seismic interpretation
Load SEG-Y format data together with the corresponding UKOOA navigation data into the Petrel application for comprehensive 2D workflows. Interpret horizons and faults across 2D data with a full set of interpretation tools and grid directly from within the Petrel application for improved understanding and mapping.
3D Seismic interpretation
Visualize and interpret massive amounts of 3D data directly from your Windows PC without having to load to RAM. Full range of tools allows you to take a traditional line-by-line approach combined with the latest algorithms and tools for best-in-class 3D volume interpretation, allowing you to achieve rapid results while giving you control in more complex areas of weaker signal strength.
2D/3D Multi-volume interpretation
It is often necessary to work with multiple vintages and surveys of both 2D and 3D data. Petrel software makes it easy to interpret across multiple 3D and 2D surveys either in the interpretation or in 3D windows to gain the best understanding in the shortest time. Interpret the same event across multiple surveys and grid, contour, and map either the whole event or just a part for individual surveys.
Data management
Today's interpretation projects demand a flexible and dynamic project data management structure to cope with the amount of data involved. Current projects may cover large regional areas, thousands of 2D lines with tens of thousands of traces covering hundreds of kilometers, and multiple 3D vintages and surveys. The Seismic Survey Manager allows you to effectively manage the 2D and 3D seismic data within your Petrel project, improving the user experience when working with large amounts of data.
