• E.g. Well name prefixes

SET DOMAIN

• Quickly change the domain on

selected objects in the Petrel explorer
tree

SEARCH

• Search objects comments, history

and name
• Search whole project or selected nodes
• Interact directly with returned
results list
• Objects selected in results list also
selected in input tree

TRACKER DATA BROWSER

• Compare local project data

against the Project Tracker
database
• See how your referenced data
com- pares
• No need to load the reference project
- saves time
 Project Management

TRACKER DUPLICATED SEISMIC

• Search for duplicated seismic in other

Petrel projects
• Easy to keep the project clean
and efficient

TRACKER OPEN SPIRIT

• Load OpenSpirit information related to

the local project data
• Compare the OpenSpirit data to
a defined Project Tracker
database
• Compare local Petrel data objects
from OpenSpirit against the
Open- Spirit source
• Make sure you have up-to-date data

TRACKER PROJECT RULES

• Connect to a Project Tracker

4.0 database from Petrel
• Check the user project against the
rules defined in the Tracker
database
• How well does the project conform the
data management policy

VELOCITY MANAGER EXPORT

• Export Petrel data for use with

Velocity manager

• Csv files of well data
• Surfaces output as Z-map files
Python Tool | Blueprint | Well Test

PYTHON TOOL

• The Python tool brings all the power of Iron

Python to bear on data stored in Petrel
• Fully workflow enabled allowing access to
workflow object, numeric and string variables
• Extensive API help
• The Python tool includes a copy of Alglib, a
high-quality numerical library
• Support of additional data types: well logs,
point sets, polyline sets, perforations

BLUEPRINT

• Fully customizable templates allow you to

embed in to Petrel reporting structures to satisfy
different reporting workflows
• Quickly unravel and understand a Petrel model
history and composition within minutes
• Standardize how modeling data and QC is
presented for peer reviews, project audit and
project handover

WELL TEST AND SIMULATION QC WORKFLOW V3

• Compare simulation pressure directly to ob- served

pressure, derivatives or deconvolution data from
well tests
• Quickly screen and calibrate models to carry
forwards for simulation
• v3.0 adds multiple well-test objects per well

WELL TEST WORKFLOW V3 - IMPORT PRESSURE DATA

• Import observed pressure data from any ASCII

formatted text file

CEGAL.COM

• Removes the necessity to convert observed pres- sure
data to Petrel .vol format
• Quick and easy to import from Saphir

PRODUCTION DATA

• A tool in the Well test simulation and QC

workflow that imports observed production data W
• Similar in usage as the Import Pressure Data E
• Production can be Oil or Gas, and time can be set L
to be Elapsed or Duration L
