Petrel will generate vertical, inclined, or curved pillars along your fault planes to align the grid cells with your structural trends. Horizon Making and Layering
Before populating the grid, you must analyze your data distributions: Open the tool.
Confirm that your data matches the selected linear units (meters or feet). Well Data and Structural Logs
Key those segments to a specific fault name in your Input tree to group them into a single fault plane. Horizon Interpretation Select the tool. petrel tutorial
Distribute porosity or permeability values across your grid to bring your reservoir to life.
Used for filling the grid with facies based on logs and trends. 4.2. Petrophysical Modeling Porosity (
Import data. Learn to navigate 3D window. Interpret 5 faults and 2 horizons manually. Week 2: Build pillars and make surfaces. Run "Make Horizons." Fix errors. Week 3: Upscale logs. Run Facies Modeling (SIS). Run Porosity (SGS). Week 4: Run volumetrics. Export for simulation. Repeat on a second dataset. Petrel will generate vertical, inclined, or curved pillars
Import/Edit checkshots to convert time-domain seismic to depth-domain geological data. 4. Structural Modeling (Faults & Horizons)
Here are 3 quick tips to level up your next tutorial session:
: The step-by-step engine used to build the structural framework, populate properties, and initialize simulations. 2. Project Setup and Data Import Well Data and Structural Logs Key those segments
Transforming interpretations into a watertight geometrical grid requires executing structural modeling steps in a chronological order. 1. Fault Modeling
This inserts your geological layers into the 3D grid.
The key advantage of Petrel is its , where changes made in one domain (e.g., structural interpretation) are immediately updated across others (e.g., volumetric calculations). 2. Getting Started: Project Setup
: Import continuous log measurements via .las or .lis files. Key logs include Gamma Ray (GR), Porosity (POR), and Deep Resistivity (ILD).
