Petrel subsurface software

Description

The context of this course will take the student through the primary techniques of construction of 2D (two dimensional) maps and sections of the subsurface, including integration well data and key surfaces defining the framework of geologic units in the subsurface as the foundation of subsurface evaluation.  These initial 2D techniques allow the interpreter to display the 3D (three dimensional) relationships of geologic surfaces and any associated faults which are the key to defining the spatial and volumetric aspects of the associated subsurface resource. The geologic surface and fault relationships analyzed in this course will also be linked to the overall aspects of depositional settings and structural styles that are present within global development of geologic terrains. As part an integrated cross-discipline subsurface evaluation team geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers and drillers will utilize the techniques presented in this course to interpret subsurface data and provide geological models that form the basis for development planning and resource optimization. This course is primarily in two sections. The first section is over 3 days of analysis of traditional 2D mapping techniques. The second section extends the traditional 2D hand drawn techniques into a 2 day presentation of computer mapping processes.

Who Should Attend

A fundamental understanding of geologic concepts Petrel software application will be utilized in the course. While it is strongly suggested that you have taken the Introduction to Petrel Class, it is not a requirement. Exercises using specific Petrel modules will be constructed so even the new Petrel user can work through the material

Description

This course focuses on Facies modeling, which in recent years has become the main method for guiding and constraining Petrophysical models. Pixel based and Object models are demonstrated and exhausted in addition to complex hierarchical models combining multiple methods. Standard facies modeling methods have their limitations in more complex depositional environments. Therefore, this course will explore the more advanced property modeling tools, like the cutting edge Multi-point statistics process. Different ways of creating soft probability data using different processes to analyze data, such as trend modeling and geometrical trend modeling, exploring the relationship of secondary data to constrain models will also be covered. There is a special focus in the theory behind the Multi-point statistical concept, covering the creation of good training images and how to incorporate soft probability data, vary direction and scale in the final simulation model. In addition, this course covers the Geobody modeling tool for extracting seismic bodies and use them directly as “hard data” in the modeling process. Also GRFS and SGS petrophysical models constrained to the previously generated facies models will be shown. A short insight to automate property modeling workflows to update your models in a simple and rapid way will be covered.

Description

This course builds on the Petrel Reservoir Engineering course and goes more in depth on modeling of deviated wells.The standard well modeling with Eclipse and FrontSim treats the entire well bore as a single entity and therefore cannot take into account pressure changes along the well bore due to friction, valves or pumps. Such devices are often used with horizontal wells to control the inflow profile along the well trace. To model these effects, the multi segmented well model must be used. This course explains the capabilities of this well model and how to use Petrel to set it up. How to add completions such as valves and pumps and how to make development strategies utilizing the equipment is also covered. Sector models can be useful to study parts of a reservoir. This course shows how to define sectors, how to select boundary conditions and how to run sector models.

Description

This course teaches new users how to run Petrel* Exploration Geology v2017 software, specifically 1D and 3D Petroleum System Modeling (PSM) and Petroleum System Quick Look (PSQL). The Petrel Exploration Geology toolkit combines seismic information, well data, and geological knowledge to accurately model the evolution of sedimentary basins over time and optimally predict if and how reservoirs have been charged with hydrocarbons. It also aids estimation of the timing of hydrocarbon generation and migration, as well as quantities and type. The workflows allow rapid initial exploration screening and evaluation of the key components of exploration uncertainty. This course demonstrates how to build, simulate and refine a 1D petroleum system model from well data and geologic information in Petrel. The results from the 1D model along with interpreted seismic surfaces are used as inputs in PSQL to provide simple, but rapid scenario testing, allowing you to quickly evaluate simple petroleum systems at present day. Domain theory will be discussed as needed to support the class exercises. You will then construct a full 3D petroleum system model in Petrel and simulate the basin history and complete geological evolution of the petroleum system(s). The model is simulated in the Petrel environment using the PetroMod* simulator. The Petrel/PetroMod modeling suite is the most advanced commercially available petroleum systems modeling toolkit. This is also the only commercial system with a migration process for n-components/3 phases relationships fully controlled by Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) conditions.

The Petrel Fracture Modeling course covers the concepts of fracture modeling and their application in the oil industry in general and in the Petrel E&P software platform specifically. The purpose of fracture modeling is to create simulation properties for matrix and fractures to predict reservoir behavior. Many reservoirs are dual-porosity/dual-permeability (naturally fractured), which leads to high flow zones that are not representative of the matrix flow capacity. Consequently, flow simulators have problems simulating these kind of reservoirs.In this course, the participants will learn how to import, visualize, QC and analyze fracture data before building a fracture network model consisting of a Discrete fracture network (DFN) and Implicit fracture properties (IFM). There will also be a brief overview of how the output fracture properties can be used for simulation.

This course introduces Petrel Production Interpretation (PI) as a quick engineering tool to evaluate production performance, interpret production data, identify productivity problems, and optimize completion/stimulation/production operations that are relevant to production and reservoir engineers to develop successful drilling plans, make completion choices, determine workover plans, and formulate development strategies. During the first part of the course, analytical simulation techniques are introduced to evaluate the productivity of a single well using a range of “what if” scenarios such as: multiple well types, fracture designs for a horizontal well with multiple transverse fractures completions, and placement design of the wells for a tight gas reservoir. Then, the course presents the basics of rate transient analysis (RTA), typical reservoir calibration RTA workflow, production data interpretation and evaluation enabling engineers to determine key well and reservoir parameters. RTA and non-linear regression techniques are used to achieve a history-matched analytical model. The last day of the course, the attendee performs production forecasting for conventional and unconventional wells using both techniques, analytical simulation and decline curve analysis. In addition, this course covers workflows in production data analysis like identification of productivity problems using bubble mapping, data normalization and asset characterization using type wells.
