The Petrel platform brings disciplines together with best-in-class technologies in an environment of unparalleled productivity. This shared earth approach enables companies to standardize workflows from exploration to production for more informed decisions about opportunities and risks.
Users are presented with an intuitive way to interact with the Petrel platform. A systematic approach governs the new interface design, which is configured in a logical, workflow-driven layout. Users benefit from a focused environment where key tools are presented in context, mouse clicks are significantly reduced, and users are kept focused on interpretation and data.
As part of our ongoing commitment to standardization and quality of service, the Petrel platform commenced delivery of a regular structured update process. Since September 2013, the Petrel platform bimonthly updates have delivered new features and improvements for stability, performance, and reliability. This efficient and predictable access to new capabilities and quality focus will continue, allowing you to proactively plan your deployment procedure.
Petrel 2014 continues the step-change in software beta test methodology that was introduced in the Petrel 2013 beta program engagements. The Petrel platform architecture tracks and audits beta testing, ensuring that the broad range of capabilities is consistently and comprehensively tested. For the 2014 release, this involved more than 70 oil and gas companies across the spectrum of majors, independents and national oil companies, as well as internal resources.
