Petrel Workflow Editor & Uncertainty & Optimization Process

Rapidly update reservoir models, better manage risk, & easily share knowledge

The Workflow Editor, an integral part of Petrel software, captures data parameters and relationships that enable rapid updating of reservoir models as information from new wells arrives. The Workflow Editor allows the user to create all sorts of workflows to be run in batch mode, whether to run repetitive tasks, or to recreate an object or an entire grid.

Geoscientists and engineers can create multiple model realizations to assess the impact on reserve volumetrics or to cost well placement. Without leaving Petrel, engineers can run all possible scenarios in ECLIPSE software directly.

The Workflow Editor improves uncertainty understanding and risk management, and allows best practices and workflows to be easily shared across your organization.

Petrel software enables asset teams to reduce project cycle time and maximize productivity.

Open API for external algorithms

Petrel software provides the ability to plug in external algorithms for uncertainty analysis in the Workflow Editor. Users can now apply their own experimental design algorithms or optimizers using the Ocean application development framework on top of the new proxy models introduced in Petrel 2010.1.
