Petrel Guru Standardizes and Automates Quality Check and Reporting Procedures for 3D Models

Reports automated using Petrel Guru

Petrel Guru is a Schlumberger enabling technology that provides customers with complete quality support and guidance at every step of their workflows in the Petrel E&P software platform. As an embedded quality reporting tool, Petrel Guru integrates in-context guidance with knowledge and best practices capture.

Petrel Guru’s Quality Reporting capability was used in this context to enable users to run tests on their data objects and automatically create reports detailing the quality of the results. Together with the Petrel platform’s workflow functions, Petrel Guru supports users in

• creating an interface for setting up input data
• running calculations, including plotting maps and calculating statistical parameters of objects
• producing screenshots with print previews for maps, sections, cross plots, and histograms
• generating reports by entering text and numeric values or graphical elements in the preset fields.

Report time cut 88%–96% and data integrity improved

A dedicated Petrel Guru Quality Reporting workflow was created to automatically enter data for interrogation into the appropriate fields of the 16-page Geological Model Passport template. The fields include more than 20 graphical elements, 100 numerical and text values, and reserve estimates.

To initiate the workflow, a user specifies the geological 3D model with relevant properties (such as lithology, porosity, and fluid type) and the data used to build the model. If certain data are missing, a warning message is displayed in the report.
