Petrel shale suite

Maximize the value of your well tests with optimized designs that honor the geological model and address uncertainty

Overview

The Petrel™ shale suite module is designed for companies working onshore planning and drilling horizontal wells. This module dives three main workflows: geosteering, pad placement, and pad well design. This toolset is specifically designed to improve efficiency for the fast pace of land development.

Geosteer wells in real time to ensure accurate landing and maximise reservoir contact.

Plan drillable wells in context of geoscience and cultural data to ensure maximum reservoir contact and tied to surface locations for optimum spacing.

Applications

Geosteering workflow:

Steer wells in context of geology and other data
Interactive steering in the vertical track using a “stretch and squeeze” method
Geosteering guided by seismic or geological model properties
Stream well data in using WITMSL or load data from files
Fast and easy reporting
See geosteering live in the 3D window

Pad placement workflow:

Provides an automated solution to optimize well pad locations based on surface constraints such as roads, rivers, proximity to facilities, and available lease acreage, as well as taking into account various reservoir-level quality targets
Design the optimized pad and well location combining both surface and subsurface constrains and geological information, ensuring you avoid existing wells.
Design the pad layout and interactively plan pads based on GIS maps
Create “no-go zones” to ensure that wells are placed in correct locations

Pad well design workflow:

Fast and efficient way to design multiple wells in a single run Fully integrated with the pad placement workflow—it is possible to design a field and have drillable wells within minutes
