What are you working with? (e.g., raw logs, seismic cubes, or well tops)

Use the workflow manager to automate repetitive tasks.

Right-click the Input Pane > Import (on selection) . Choose file type (SEGY). petrel tutorial

Identify fault planes by picking fault segments on seismic discontinuities, storing them as . Pillar Gridding

For more information on Petrel and to deepen your knowledge, we recommend: What are you working with

Define zone models based on your geological knowledge (e.g., Proportional, Parallel to top, or Parallel to base).

Prepare the model for dynamic simulation (typically for the Eclipse or Intersect simulators) by defining fluid properties and well completion strategies. Choose file type (SEGY)

Finally, the model is ready for . Once the cells are populated, Petrel can instantly calculate the total volume of oil or gas in place by summing the values of the cells. This is often the primary deliverable for management and investment decisions. If the model is destined for reservoir simulation (dynamic modeling), it often must be "upscaled." A geological model might contain 50 million cells, which is too many for a fluid flow simulator to handle efficiently. Upscaling coarsens the model, reducing it to perhaps 100,000 cells while attempting to preserve the critical reservoir properties.
