Petrel Tutorial Link

What specific you are working with (e.g., core data, 2D vs. 3D seismic)? Which Petrel version license you are currently running?

Move across several lines and continue picking segments. Petrel will automatically group these segments into a single fault surface. Repeat this for all major bounding faults. Horizon Interpretation Select the tool from the ribbon.

This phase involves identifying the structural framework of the reservoir.

Right-click the wells, select Import Selection , and choose LAS files (*.las) . Match your curves (GR, Res, Porosity) to global templates. Importing Seismic Data

1. Introduction to Petrel User Interface and Data Architecture petrel tutorial

Ensure that intersecting faults are properly truncated against one another to avoid geometric gaps. Pillar Gridding

Define the Coordinate Reference System (CRS): Click , choose the appropriate geographic or projected datum (e.g., WGS84 / UTM Zone 31N), and click Apply . 2. Data Import and Management

Before importing any data, you must define the CRS. Inaccuracy here leads to spatial misalignment between seismic and well data.

Run the autotracker to map the reflector across the entire volume. Rename the resulting surface (e.g., Top Reservoir ). What specific you are working with (e

resolution of your grid. The grid must align with your fault network to ensure proper connectivity.

With your data in place, you can start building a geological interpretation. This involves correlating well logs and interpreting seismic data to define horizons and faults.

Insert the structural surfaces generated from seismic interpretation into the newly built 3D pillar grid frame.

Structural modeling is the process of building the framework for your reservoir model. This is often performed using a structured workflow that moves from fault creation to grid generation. Move across several lines and continue picking segments

Use the "make horizons" function to quickly generate geological layers from imported surfaces.

This tutorial roadmap equips you with the theoretical foundation and practical knowledge to navigate Petrel's core workflows. While this guide provides an essential framework, hands-on experience is invaluable. Remember, this is just the beginning. Stay curious, practice with real-world data, and continue to explore the advanced capabilities of this powerful software as you refine your modeling skills.

Use the process to map properties from your fine static grid directly onto this new coarser simulation grid. Defining Simulation Cases Switch to the Simulation ribbon interface.
