Very Powerful Software, Steep Learning Curve
Petrel is used only by my research group within the Department of Earth Sciences at the university. There are currently three users of Petrel. We use it to map various geologic horizons from well tops obtained through third-party software, perform basic petrophysical analyses and prepare surfaces for basin modeling in Petromod.
- Petrel handles multiple coordinate systems better than competitors.
- The object tree organization in Petrel is intuitive and user-friendly.
- Easy to handle data across multiple UTM zones by allowing geodesic coordinates.
- When importing files from external sources, the format selection is often confusing and doesn't seem as flexible as competitors.
- I find the organization of modes and functions in the tabs, cluttered and often overwhelming for occasional users.
- Hard to handle large well data sets with multiple well names and UWIs due to the lack of a database link.
- It allowed us to handle datasets across the entire basin.
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.
