Schlumberger Information Solutions (SIS) has announced the availability of the latest release of its Petrel* PC-based exploration and production (E&P) workflow technology. This new release enables geophysicists, geologists and reservoir engineers to work across domains using an integrated toolkit for subsurface interpretation and reservoir modeling and simulation.

The new release incorporates all activities from seismic to simulation, including geophysical and geological interpretation and pre/post processing and case management for reservoir simulation. This combination gives asset teams the opportunity to benefit from improved workflow efficiencies and reduced uncertainty. Its integration with other Schlumberger and third-party products and services within the Living Model workflow provide measurable improvements in E&P operational processes.

A number of improved and new modules are now available across the entire Petrel offering. Notably, improvements in the Petrel Geophysics modules further establish the application as a core seismic interpretation tool. The new Reservoir Engineering module allows creation and running of ECLIPSE* reservoir simulation models from within the integrated environment. New tools for seismic classification and for the estimation of 3D properties, property maps and missing logs and log sections are also available.
