Dear Valued Customer, The Petrel Team is proud to continue this Newsletter specific to Petrel Asia/Pacific. This Newsletter will be focusing on:

- News of the month - Petrel 2007 PRE-Release content - Functionality of the month - Periscope data visualized and used to update 3D model? - Tips of the month - How to co-blend two seismic volumes and display them together? - Workflow of the month - How to flatten a given seismic volume on a specified horizon?

We hope you will enjoy it ! Best regards, The Petrel Asia/Pacific Team

Preview of the next Petrel release !

During the next coming months, we will be showing Petrel 2007 during special events

such as SIS Forum, SPE, AAPG. Please passby our Schlumberger stands to have an

overview.

Functionality of the Month - Periscope data visualized and used to update 3D model?

1 - Import Periscope data as Tops X,Y,Z of Top or Base 2 - Set well to a non well (this ensures data does not plot on well trajectory) 3 - Assign data to a true top so it can be used in well correction 4 - Include dip and azimuth data

Martyn Beardsell, our Petrel Workflow Advisor, has written this workflow.

Tips of the month - How to co-blend two seismic volumes and display them together? 1- Enable transparency for Intersections on the volumes you want to blend together.

- For volume 1 select any In-line (or X-Line) and make it active. (Shows as black in the three.) - For volume 2 activate the blue button (Ctl-B), enable/disable toggling v isualization on plane click on the Main object Icon.

2 - Play with the transparency settings on the color bar to mix seismic. 3 - Now you move the active line with the Manipulate plane (M) option, both will stick together due to the blue-button link!

Gaston Bejarano, our Petrel Seismic Advisor, has written this workflow.
