    Chose Petrel E&P
    I use Petrel and competitor products for different functions. If I didn't have Petrel, it would be a lot more difficult to work with my aerially extensive dataset and manipulate my data with geographic coordinates.

    Schlumberger
    Petrel is an extremely powerful tool and for geological 3D modeling is the go-to tool, it's Sequential Indicator Simulations, Object-Based modeling or multiple point statistics modeling workflows are top notches and I highly advise its use. I wouldn't recommend using it for seismic interpretation based on seismic attributes since it can be a little bit limited in this aspect.

    Cons
    Schlumberger
    • Petrel is extremely expensive, working with it in a small company is almost impossible. This shouldn't be an issue for a large company or for a big university with a large budget for investigation.
    • Since it has so many functions it can be overwhelming once you begin using it, so I highly recommend to pay for a Schlumberger instructor.
    • The seismic attributes could be improved since they are not entirely accurate.

    Return on Investment
    Schlumberger
    • Working at the University of Oklahoma the investment is well paid since geoscientist are formed with the best tool available.
    • Keeping in mind that the software is really expensive, for the product to have an economic positive impact the project's revenue has to be large.
