Petrel Seismic Interpretation

Combine 2D & 3D Seismic Interpretations in a Unified Environment

Petrel seismic interpretation software seamlessly combines the workflows of 2D interpretation with the visual and performance benefits of 3D volume interpretation. You can leverage an interpretation environment unified with geology, reservoir modeling, and reservoir engineering domains and have the ability to rapidly interpret seismic data and compare the results with other data in your project. Effortlessly move from interpretation to structural model building to property modeling and back, eliminating the gaps and inevitable knowledge and data loss of traditional systems that require handoffs from one technical domain to the next.

2D seismic interpretation

Unlock more information from 2D seismic data by applying techniques that are typically reserved for 3D interpretation, including opacity control in the 3D canvas.

3D seismic interpretation

Visualize and interpret massive amounts of 3D data without loading all the data to RAM. Combine the traditional line-by-line approach with the latest algorithms and tools, including amplitude- and waveform-based tracking, for 3D volume interpretation. Rapidly identify stratigraphic or structural features, and then interpret horizon and fault though the volumes.

2D/3D multi-volume interpretation

Interpret across multiple 3D and 2D surveys—either in the interpretation or in 3D windows—to gain the best understanding in the shortest time. Interpret the same event across multiple surveys, and grid, contour, and map whole or partial events for individual surveys.

Modeling-while-interpreting (MWI) functionality

Pick faults in the background while Petrel software grids faults and applies fault connection rules, producing an accurate fault framework for your complex structure. Grid horizon interpretation to create a true water-tight model that can be used in the model or high-quality structural maps. And shorten the time it takes to create a complex model by providing a cleaner interpretation and creating the structural framework in advance.

Data management

Use the Seismic Survey Manager to effectively manage 2D and 3D seismic data within your Petrel project, improving your user experience when working with large regional areas, thousands of 2D lines with tens of thousands of traces, hundreds of kilometers and coordinate systems, and multiple 3D vintages and surveys.
