Use the Check Data and Volume Calculation tools to estimate Original Oil in Place (OOIP) or Gas in Place (GIP).

Quantifying the Hydrocarbons-In-Place represents the ultimate goal of a static reservoir characterization workflow. Go to . Select the populated 3D grid. Input the required physical parameters:

Use stochastic algorithms like Sequential Indicator Simulation (SIS) to distribute rock types across the model.

Check the simulation run for material balance errors and refine the model accordingly. Conclusion

The final step calculates the Hydrocarbons-In-Place to determine the economic viability of the asset. Volumetrics Process Open the tool.

Once the geometric "cage" (3D grid) is built, you populate the cells with rock and fluid properties based on well log data.

Export the final upscaled dataset to reservoir simulation engines like ECLIPSE or INTERSECT using the manager. Pro Tips for Efficient Petrel Modeling

For self-paced, structured learning, downloadable resources are invaluable.

Import as a text file ( .txt or .csv ) containing Well Name, X coordinate, Y coordinate, Kelly Bushing (KB) elevation, and Total Depth (TD).

The first step in any Petrel workflow is setting up the project environment correctly to ensure all spatial data aligns. Create a New Project : Navigate to the menu and select New Project Define the Coordinate Reference System (CRS) : This is critical for locating your data on the map. Go to Project Setup Project Settings Coordinates and Units to select the appropriate CRS for your field location. Set Unit Systems

Once the framework is built, you populate it with geological properties.
