Petrel Reservoir Engineering 2011

Petrel 2011 affords powerful new science, workflow productivity, and enhanced collaboration. Revolutionary new tools help geoscientists and engineers deliver confident decisions—prospect selections, reserves estimates, and well placements—even in challenging environments, where quantifying and managing risk are critical in determining economic success or failure.

Deliver confident prospect selections

• Assess seal capacity and charge timing as you interpret seismic, make maps, and calculate volumes
• Capture prospect uncertainty from the start
• Get better results faster with new and improved interpretation tools: automatic fault tracking, 3D seismic flattening, and additional modes for tailed interpretation
• Experience industry-leading, patented coordinate conversion technology, enabling dynamic positioning of seismic data so it always matches your well data—no matter which projection.
• Isolate stratigraphic traps and complex structures using the new interactive parameter control, enabling you to fine-tune the attribute and solve your problems.
• Leverage new Ocean plug-ins from WesternGeco for prestack interpretation capabilities

Deliver confident reserves estimates

• Test the limits of all your key parameters; accurately assess structural integrity, stratigraphic features, fluid contacts, and property distributions
• The new flexible well section canvas delivers a step change in well interpretation, enabling the display of raster logs and seismic geological models between the wells. See the reservoir change over time by playing simulations between your wells in the new well section canvas.
• Use new stair-step gridding to correctly model even the most complex faulted reservoirs for a robust sealed structural framework that is optimal for property population and fluid flow simulation
• Perform local model updates with new well data, properties, and markers to preserve history match for existing wells
