Shared earth—critical insight
The Petrel E&P software platform brings disciplines together with best-in-class science in an unparalleled productivity environment. Geoscientists and engineers gain critical insight to make more informed decisions through this shared earth approach. The Petrel 2012 and Eclipse 2012 release continues our commitment to deliver on these key capabilities…
Disciplines working together
Enabling the insight required in complex reservoirs means going beyond data integration, to integrate work processes and capture and preserve knowledge. The Petrel platform enables many experts to contribute their unique perspective to a shared vision of the subsurface. New features and workflows in Petrel 2012 allow you to:
- Integrate prestack interpretation and reservoir AVO modeling
- Incorporate log analysis uncertainty from Techlog software
- Build consistent and realistic geological models using advanced trend modeling
- Optimize well placement in unconventionals reservoirs
- Improve assisted history matching
- Easily integrate production information
Access to best science
The Petrel platform provides deep science across the oilfield lifecycle, from prestack interpretation and advanced reservoir modeling, to assisted history matching and much more. Furthermore, the Ocean development framework allows you to create advantage by providing your intellectual property to your teams in the Petrel platform. The following tasks can be performed in Petrel 2012:
- Analyze exploration risk from play to prospect
- Improve structural delineation with advanced edge detection attributes
- Interactively reconstruct seismic while interpreting
- Validate and build more accurate structural models
- Design accurate well paths reducing time consuming interactions
- Extract geology from geophysics through quantitative interpretation
- Define development strategies for INTERSECT software
Increased workflow productivity
As the industry looks to accelerate reserves replacement and boost recovery, increasing productivity is essential. The Petrel platform supports this through automated and repeatable workflows. The Studio E&P knowledge environment for Petrel 2012 improves:
- Ability to capture and share modeling input parameters
- Enhanced everyday workflow (e.g., mapping, loading, and charting)
- Control of the data at your fingertips with data inspectors
- Fully immersive mode for interpretation
- Ability to find data and load from beyond your Petrel environment
- Improved multiuser collaboration with notifications of team updates
- Workflow Advisor and enhanced online help
