Petrel Surface Imaging

With the Surface Imaging utility you can drape a surface with any image, including aerial or satellite images, scanned maps, seismic time slices, or property maps. For example, in a hilly terrain, you can drape a satellite image over the model to check access to proposed drilling sites. You can also drape maps or property surfaces over models.

Build 3D models when only paper data is available. Paper maps can be scanned and then imported as images, from which digital maps can be created by digitizing the contours.

Benefits

• Drape satellite images over the topographic surface to precisely locate surface features.
• Import scanned maps or drawings, oriented correctly in 3D space and draped over a surface.
• Drape property maps, isochore maps, and maps of any seismic attribute over time or depth surfaces.

Workflow

• Import images in a range of formats and drape (project) over surfaces in the Petrel model.
• Set corner coordinates.
• Grid images where the pixel intensity is used as elevation. This is an excellent way to display images together with your Petrel models.
