DATA (STUDIO)

The focus of the Studio E&P knowledge platform has been improving performance for spatial filtering and transfer performance consistency when multiple users are transferring data between projects and the repository.

FOUNDATION

In Petrel 2021.6, a new map service authentication method has been added. The Petrel platform now supports oAuth 2.0 and SAML ArcGIS authentication bringing additional identity management.

MODELING

An enhancement has been made in Petrel 2021.6 to optimize the stairstep gridding performance. For certain model configurations, typically large models, this leads to very significant reductions in runtime.

Users

The Petrel platform and Studio platform bring benefits to all geoscientists and engineers, including seismic processors, seismic interpreters, geologists, reservoir modelers, reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, production geologists, and data and information managers. They can be deployed by companies working in exploration, development, and production for either unconventional or conventional reservoirs and are now also fully used for developing new energy projects such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), geothermal, and wind farm site characterization.
