The first step in any Petrel workflow is establishing a solid foundation.
Prepare the model for dynamic simulation (typically for the Eclipse or Intersect simulators) by defining fluid properties and well completion strategies.
Always use the Blue Help Button within Petrel. It provides context-specific documentation for every active window, which is invaluable for troubleshooting specific tool parameters. petrel tutorial
Use the Input Pane to manage your folders. Logical grouping of "Seismic," "Wells," and "Interpretations" is essential for complex projects. 2. Data Import and Management
This phase involves identifying the structural framework of the reservoir. The first step in any Petrel workflow is
Populating the grid with geological data like Porosity, Permeability, and Water Saturation.
Import shapefiles or CAD files representing lease boundaries or infrastructure for geographic context. 3. Seismic Interpretation and Water Saturation.
To use well logs in a 3D grid, you must upscale the high-resolution log data into the larger grid cells using methods like "Arithmetic Mean" or "Most Probable." 5. Structural Modeling (Pillar Gridding) This is where the 3D "skeleton" of your reservoir is built.
Pick stratigraphic "tops" to define the vertical limits of your reservoir zones.
