Overview

With Petrel™ surface imaging, users can drape a surface with any georeferenced image, including aerial or satellite images, scanned maps, seismic time slices, and property maps.

Imported cultural data referenced to the project coordinate system aid on shale gas reservoir development strategy.

Using georeferenced cultural data helps to plan surface facilities and keep well trajectory plans away from natural hazards & close to roads.

Understanding the regional and local geography is essential for well pad placement design for heavy oil sandy reservoirs.

Once imported, an image can be georeferenced and draped over any surface in the project.

Applications

3D model building Petrel Surface

Imaging enables users to build 3D models when only paper data is available. Paper maps can be scanned and then imported as images, from which digital maps can be created by digitizing the contours.

Once an image is georeferenced, users can create a surface where the pixel intensity is used as the elevation—enabling images to be displayed together with Petrel platform models.

Benefits

In hilly terrain, access to proposed drilling sites can be checked by draping a satellite image over the model. For pad placement in shale gas reservoirs, maps containing information on roads, rivers, mountains, and facilities are invaluable. Petrel Surface Imaging also enables positioning scanned 2D seismic or stratigraphic sections in space for further interpretation.
