Petrel play and prospect assessment

Achieving production objectives with full stochastic evaluation of exploration portfolios

Overview

Petrel™ play and prospect assessment is a map-based assessment workflow with a flexible setup that enables users to assess conventional and unconventional opportunities.

Calculate overall play risk for areas of interest such as blocks and concessions. Data courtesy of NPD.

Perform rapid initial screening of the hydrocarbon source and reservoir with simulation of maturation, migration and accumulation. Data courtesy of NPD.

View the hydrocarbon accumulations and flowpaths in context with project data such as seismic and chance of success in concessions. Data courtesy of NPD.

Simulate source rock maturation to determine whether hydrocarbons could have been generated i the basin. Data courtesy of NPD.

Evaluate key chance of success parameters in a play such as reservoir, charge, and seal, with results connected to interpretations. Data courtesy of NPD.

Compare prospects in terms of chance of success and range of volume following probabilistic volumetric assessment. Data courtesy of NPD.

Build Petroleum systems models and evaluate results of PetroMod simulations. Data courtesy of NPD.

Build models and evaluate results of simulations

Benefits

Your company’s risk model from GeoX exploration risk, resource, and value assessment software’s database can be imported and used with different volume estimation methods. Assessment units can be defined using geopolygons, manually, or from the Play Chance Mapping package in Petrel subsurface software. The generated results then define the geological chance of success and resource potential for the units. The results can be saved into the corporate exploration portfolio in the GeoX software database.
