Schlumberger Petrel 2010 Property Modeling Course
The purpose of this course is to provide an understanding of how to perform Facies and Petrophysical modeling in Petrel. The target is to use all geological information available to build a realistic property model. Property modeling is the process of filling the grid cells with discrete or continuous properties.
In order to construct a proper model based on a 3D grid, it is important to understand the basic concepts, algorithms and methods leading to these results. Therefore, the first part of the course will focus on basic geostatistical concepts like variograms, kriging and simulation, and will also test out different methods to see both the benefits and the limitations.
Property modeling in Petrel is split into three separate processes: Geometrical, Facies and Petrophysical modeling. In addition, there are other process steps which can be used when modeling properties: Scale up well logs, Data analysis, Train Estimation Model (Neural Net), Trend modeling, User-defined object creation, Training image and patern creation and Fault Analysis (the last four processes will not be covered in this course).
By attending this course, you will obtain an introduction to the geostatistical and Property modeling functionalities in Petrel. Upon completion of the course, you will have been introduced to enough options in Petrel to be able to build a property model on your own. Due to the scope of the software, there is a wide range of functionalities in Petrel that will not be introduced in this course. Refer to our other courses for more details on separate modules.
