Q &A
Overview: Petrel Geology

What is Geological modeling?

This is a subdiscipline of geology that integrates structural geology,

sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleoclimatology, and diagenesis.

The aim is to create realistic geologic

model representations of portions of
the Earth's crust, especially oil and gas
fields and groundwater aquifers.
Overview: Petrel Geology

Why is modeling important?

It allows us to understand, assess, and predict a reservoir by

incorporating all available data/information into a quantitative digital
representation.
Software

How is modeling going to be achieved?

Petrel workflow overview

Platform and plug-ins Integrated and flexible workflow

What is Ocean?

Ocean is an open development framework used to create software plug-

ins to extend Petrel.
Data Integration with Petrel: New import/export options
Extend Petrel with new:
Algorithms (proprietary IP)
Petrel modules/processes
Custom domain objects
Menus, windows, dialogs.
Develop Integrated Workflows and not just data sharing.

Data Set

Gullfaks field is a major oilfield in the

North Sea. Exploration started in 1974
and it is now producing through three
platforms.

Field description:
Rotated fault blocks caused a structural trap.
Reservoir is mainly Lower to Middle Jurassic sandstones.
1.9 billion barrels of recoverable oil
23 billion m3 of gas
2.4 million tons of condensate.

Function bar

Petrel Explorer
panes Display
window

Status bar
Petrel Explorer Panes (1)

Input: Imported files, data, and generated

data not related to a 3D grid
Models: All data related to the 3D grid
Resuts: Numeric results of volumetrics and
simulation
Templates: Predefined and user-defined
color templates
Petrel Explorer Panes (2)

Processes: Lists all available processes in

Petrel.
Cases: Running a volume calculation,
uncertainty run, or a simulation run creates a
case, which has an icon in the Cases pane.
Workflows: Stores workflows created by the
Workflow Editor.
Windows: Lists all windows opened in a
project
Project Settings and Units

Fill in project info on the Info tab.

Set up projection and units on

the Coordinates and units tab.
Spatial (coordinate system): Allows you
to build exploration projects across a
coordinate reference system (CRS) while
keeping the geodetical integrity of the
data intact.
Note: With Petrel spatial positioning, no
errors are introduced by the reprojection!
Visualization: Windows
Help Manual

Access the Help Manual; Help menu Manual (HTML help). The
manual is included with your installation; a network connection is
unnecessary.
