Petrel Quantitative Interpretation

The Petrel Quantitative Interpretation module enables true integration of multidisciplinary seismic with well and geological data. This ensures complete description of reservoir properties and extends conventional qualitative interpretation to a quantitative interpretation workflow in the same canvas. Petrel Quantitative Interpretation is a product development collaboration between Schlumberger and Ikon Science.

The Petrel Quantitative Interpretation module allows for seamless seismic data conditioning, rock physics, fluid substitution, AVO/AVA analysis, and pre- and poststack deterministic and stochastic inversion to predict lithology, pore fluid content, and seismic pore pressure modeling, without leaving the Petrel platform.

Features

• Rock physics processes allowing for the estimation of elastic parameters, such as acoustic impedance, Vp/Vs ratio, Poisson’s ratio, Young’s modulus, etc. Complete suite of fluid substitution tools based on Gassmann’s equation.
• Seismic pore pressure prediction workflow, including rock physics model for pore pressure calibration at well locations.
• AVO modeling processes for the generation of synthetic gathers based on Zoeppritz and other industry standard algorithms; and AVO reconnaissance for the generation of AVO attributes from pre- and poststack data.
• Seismic conditioning allowing seismic resampling and seismic trace alignment based on nonrigid matching.
• Industry leading colored, deterministic simultaneous, and stochastic inversion for the prestack and poststack data.
• Workflow based on Bayesian lithology classification.
• Robust 2D/3D cross plotting tool of seismic and well data to identity and isolate the anomalous hydrocarbon zones.
• Easy and intuitive 2D forwarding modeling workflow (wedge, anticline, and dipping reservoir models) allowing generation of synthetic seismic response from rock property.
