Petrel Seismic Volume Rendering & Geobody Extraction

Improve Reservoir Understanding, Detect Anomalies, & Define Facies

Visualize and extract 3D objects from seismic to improve reservoir understanding, detect anomalies, and define facies. Petrel software enables you to interactively blend multiple seismic volumes, isolate areas of interest, and then instantly extract what is visualized into a 3D object called a geobody. As the geobody is extracted, the interpreter can assign a geological template to the geobody, providing the body with instant geological meaning. Geobodies can be included directly in the 3D geological model, bridging the gap between geophysics and geology.

Geobody extraction

• Visualize the 3D object, isolate the body, and then interactively extract it.
• Calculate volumetrics or sample the geobody directly into a geological model.
• Use properties in much the same way as a facies model to condition petrophysical property models.
• Filter by properties to perform data analysis, property modeling, and volume calculations on the grid cells within the bodies.
• Blend multiple cubes together using seismic crossplotting and classification, and create complex selection events to identify stratigraphic features. The classifications enable you to manually classify a set of attributes based on their relationships.
• Use the automatic extraction algorithm to rapidly extract the bodies in the scene, then filter, merge, and delete these bodies. Once the geobodies have been extracted, you can assign each a geological template easily sample them into the model.

Seismic volume rendering

Interactively apply transparency to regional 3D seismic volumes to rapidly identify areas of interest. You have the ability to set free volumes independent of inline x-lines and time slices.
