What is Petrel? A Windows PC software application

intended to aggregate oil reservoir

data from multiple sources.

In summary, it addresses the need

for a single application to support the

Seismic-to-Simulation workflow,

reducing the need or a multitude ofhighly specialized tools.

Uses To interpret seismic data

Perform well correlation Build reservoir models

Calculate volumes

Produce maps

Etc. simulate

A Geological model? A computerized representation of portions of the Earths crust(reality).

Hardware and Application Needed:

A PC with a minimum of: For Petrel 64-bit:4GB of RAM; however

16GB of RAM is recommended for optimum performance.(6GB)

For Petrel 64-bit:Microsoft Windows 7,Vista 64 or XP 64

A graphic card compatible with Petrel

A Petrel license and license key Petrel Seismic to Simulation Software with the latest updates(Petrel

2012.5)

Geometrical Modeling

Use of pre-defined functions to

generate properties.

Geometrical Properties are 3D properties

Created using predefined system

variables.

Important in volume calculations

and in math operations betweenpetrophysical properties.

Conclusion

Petrel Fundamentals:

Essential for beginners of the Petrel courses Teaches the elementary usage of Petrel

Wide range of functionality was not introduced,

hence

Basic courses should be taken in order to have in-

depth understanding of the software.
