The document provides an overview of objectives for a class on using Petrel software, including importing well data, formation tops, and making and editing surfaces. It outlines steps for setting up a Petrel project, importing well data from an ASCII file, viewing the project structure, manipulating displays, and creating a structure contour map from imported formation top picks.

Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

F39 Well Log Derived Depth

Map comparison: subtract one map from another Contours > Isomap Grid Operations

Uses grid parameters derived from the key grid

Examine the difference between well log derived depths and those derived from seismic using stratigraphic and well log picks for depth conversion
Negative a negative is positive if absolute value of 2nd term is greater.

Deeper well log depth subsea

Deeper seismic depth subsea

Computing gradient or derivative maps

1st derivative of the F39 surface in the dip direction: highest positives and lowest negatives mark curve inflection points

Kudos to Valerie Smith for for preparing the data set and the handout.

And you thought you were through with the Stratton dataset

Were back to square 1. We have to import data and build a database. Go to Insert > New Well Folder Your input tree should now include a wells drop down list.

RC > Import on Selection

The ascii import file has a simple structure. Note that the column titles are listed following the BEGIN HEADER line

Familiar well numbers from Stratton

Petrel reads the header list and should follow the format of your input ascii file

Display window manipulation basics


Change vertical scale

Ctrl + shift > mouse up-down, left right to zoom in and out Ctrl or shift > mouse up-down, left right to move the entire view up or down

Drop down the wells in the list and RC > Well Manager to see Petrels version of the well input file

You can QC to cross check posted values with your import data set

Remember that our Stratton data set also came with prepicked formation tops. Those can also be imported.

Fine tune the color mapping

You should have map similar to the one below. Adjust the vertical exaggeration to see structural features in 3D relief.

Under the style tab > Adjust contour labels & explore other function tabs

Before leaving today do the short Petrel exercise
