Petrel Geology - RILS (Remote Instructor Led Series)

Session 1 : Modules 1 & 2

(4 Hours)

• Find your data
• Data display in the Well section window

This session will introduce the participants to the process of searching and retrieving data from an existing Petrel project or from the Studio database. The participants will also learn how wellbore data is organized and they will practice how to optimally display multiple wells information in a well section window for correlation. 

Session 2 : Modules 3 & 4 (Part 1)

(4 Hours)

• Log editing
• Well correlation

Well logs are one of the essential sources of data for interpretation and accurate decision-making. It is important to perform quality control before log curves are loaded or generated into a project or immediately after. In this session, the participants will discover and use several log editing options and tools in Petrel. In addition to using regional seismic, checkshots and simple logs, they will also learn the methodology for creating cross sections and performing regional correlation.

Session 3 : Modules 4 (Part 2), 5 & 6

(4 Hours)

• Facies interpretation
• Tools for team collaboration
• Isochore and isopach processing
• 2D gridding and quality improvement

Following up on the Well correlation module, the participants will learn about Facies interpretation and about the tools available to enable optimal Team collaboration. Then, they will learn the process of generating isochore and isopach data based on interpretations performed in the previous modules. Finally, the participants will discover and use the functionalities and algorithms available for creating 2D grids using diverse types of inputs (isochore points, seismic interpretation, polygons, etc.) and postprocessing them to get the optimal results.

Session 4 : Modules 7, 8 & 9

(4.5 Hours)

• Surface editing and operations
• Log property mapping
• Map-based volume calculations

This final session will be dedicated to preparing data for building a 3D grids or performing volume calculations. In addition to learning how to apply surfaces operations and editing, the participants will become familiar with the workflow of creating property maps from well log curve values. Finally, having progressively created all the surfaces, isochores and property maps required, the participants will perform map-based volume calculations, which can be used during prospect assessment.
