By providing a user-friendly interface, Petrel enables efficient and insightful exploration of carbon storage potential in subsurface environments.

Streamlined Well Planning with Pad Well Design Process

In the Pad well design process, Petrel now allows users to insert multiple depth surfaces representing target reservoirs at once. This feature enhances well planning by enabling users to plan wells for multiple benches in a single session. By organizing output plans into separate reservoir target folders, Petrel facilitates streamlined and organized well design processes, optimizing operational efficiency.

Advanced Quantitative Interpretation with Machine Learning

Petrel introduces a powerful tool for quantitative interpretation (QI) utilizing machine learning to predict elastic and petrophysical properties from seismic angle stacks. By leveraging machine learning algorithms, users can enhance reservoir characterization and property prediction, improving decision-making processes. This advanced QI tool empowers geoscientists and engineers to extract valuable insights from seismic data, facilitating more accurate reservoir assessments.

Enhancing Structural Models with EDFM

Petrel now integrates Embedded Discrete Fracture Modeling (EDFM) for hydraulic induced fracture scenarios and large-scale systems in naturally fractured reservoirs. By representing fractures as discrete entities during reservoir modeling and simulation, EDFM enables more accurate and detailed modeling of fractured reservoirs. This integration enhances the simulation workflow within Petrel, providing users with comprehensive tools for advanced reservoir analysis and modeling.

Improved Visualization with Perceptual Color Tables

Petrel now offers perceptual color tables for improved visualization in subsurface modeling. Leveraging the Oklab color space, these color tables ensure visually consistent and balanced representations, enhancing the interpretation of geological data. By accounting for factors such as lightness, chroma, and hue, Petrel's perceptual color tables provide users with a more intuitive and accurate visualization experience, aiding in the effective analysis of subsurface structures.
