LECTURE 01

1.Introduction to Petrel software

The Petrel E&P software platform

Petrel is a software platform used in the exploration and production sector of the petroleum industry.

1. It allows the user to interpret seismic data,

2. perform well correlation,

3. build reservoir models,

4. visualize reservoir simulation results,

5. calculate volumes,

6. produce maps and

7. design development strategies to maximize reservoir exploitation.

Risk and uncertainty can be assessed throughout the life of the reservoir.

Petrel is developed and built by Schlumberger

■The Petrel E&P software platform provides a full range of tools to solve the most complex structural and stratigraphic challenges—from regional exploration to reservoir development.

■Within a single environment, geoscientists can perform the key geological workflows from stratigraphic and seismic interpretation through fracture, facies, and geocellular property modeling to history matching and production simulation.

The advantages of using Petrel Software Enhance geological understanding

■A full suite of reservoir characterization tools enables geoscientists to develop stratigraphic and structural reservoir understanding and move seamlessly from 2D maps to 3D models, providing accuracy throughout the exploration, development, and production lifecycle.

2.Introduction to oil and natural gas reservoir

A petroleum reservoir or oil and gas reservoir is a subsurface pool of hydrocarbons contained in porous or fractured rock formations.

■A potential reservoir is any rock with voids in which petroleum can accumulate.

■It must be porous enough to be able to store commercial quantities of petroleum and permeable enough for the petroleum to be able to flow towards the producing well.

■The most common reservoir rocks are sandstones and carbonates.
