1. Introduction to Petrel User Interface and Data Architecture
: Load stratigraphic tops or markers to delineate structural formation boundaries across the asset. Seismic and Horizons
By mastering Petrel, you can improve your skills and expertise in the oil and gas industry, and contribute to more efficient and effective exploration and production workflows.
To get started with the basics of setting up your first project: petrel tutorial
Select an arithmetic average for porosity, and a geometric or harmonic average for permeability data. Facies Modeling
Start by importing your seismic cube and delineating faults and horizons.
Before importing data, you must familiarize yourself with the Petrel user interface (UI) and establish a proper coordinate reference system (CRS). Understanding the UI Modules To get started with the basics of setting
Align the grid directions with your primary fault trends to minimize grid cell distortion. Generate key pillars along the faults and trends. Making Horizons, Zones, and Layering
Use or 3D Autotracking for rapid horizon picking. Define horizons (top reservoir, base reservoir). Fault Interpretation:
Subdivide zones into thin vertical cell layers (e.g., 1-meter layers). This vertical resolution is crucial for capturing fluid flow behaviors during simulation. 5. Property Modeling Understanding the UI Modules Align the grid directions
Define your fluid zones by entering the or Gas-Oil Contact (GOC) depths.
Import well paths/deviations and ASCII logs (e.g., .LAS files) by matching filenames to the existing well traces. 2. Structural Framework Modeling
