Petrel geoscreening

Field development and rejuvenation is becoming increasingly more complex and costly. Often, the main reason for this is the lack of data and understanding of the reservoir. This can propagate into doubt, and the potential use of non-representative models to support investment decisions.

• Assess connectivity in geological models through interactive streamline generation and visualization across a comprehensive coverage of reservoir uncertainty.
• Integrate volume and connectivity data from multiple models to fully cover the array of geological flow paths in dynamic simulation.
• Select models with unique volume and connectivity criteria so that the most critical uncertainties are captured to represent the different production performance possibilities.

Interactive tool for analysis and selection of representative geological realizations based on both static and dynamic evaluation.

Capture static and dynamic variability

The geoscreening plug-in for Petrel™ subsurface software enables the selection of more representative geologic models that capture a full range of static and dynamic variability. It also enables the study of dynamic connectivity across different geologic realizations in tandem with volumetric calculations.

Models selected in this way have a higher chance of preserving accurate performance ranking and allow for the optimization of operating modes.

Improve production potential

By visualizing connectivity in 3D as flow paths and 2D as maps, clearer and more certain well locations can be targeted for data acquisition and improved production potential. Furthermore, the Petrel platform allows the automation of uncertainty studies, thus enabling productivity gains across the asset team.
