【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 imulation (Petrel Workflow)Stream line simulation in Petrel uses FrontSim to run black oil simulations with rapid results in relatively large grids. The module includes processes for creating PVT tables, saturation curves based on standard tables and includes a number of default values making it easy to get a simulation up and running, see Define Case for details.More:Process Manger (Petrel Workflow)Process Manger (Petrel Workflow)The Process Manager has two functions, to allow rapid updates to models and to perform batch operations on input data. A workflow for rebuilding the model can be generated at the push of a button and edited as required before running, recreating the model in a single operation. Any changes in the input data will be taken into account. Batch operations on input data are created intuitively using an object orientated programming language based on Petrel’s user interface. See Process Manager for details.More:Data Export (Petrel Workflow)Data Export (Petrel Workflow)Petrel has a strong focus on the need to transfer data to and from other applications. Being able to move data from one application to another is of vital importance in an exploration or reservoir modeling study.2D data (maps, lines and points) can be imported and exported to a range of different mapping systems (Zmap+, CPS3, EarthVision, IRAP Classic, etc.). 3D grids and 3D property models can be exported in ECLIPSE, CMG and VIP formats. For details on export, see Export Data. A range of new links will be added in future Petrel releases. Feedback from users guides our development.More:Reporting and Plotting (Petrel Workflow)Reporting and Plotting (Petrel Workflow)A generated Output sheet with . statistics, volume report, etc, can be copied directly into a spreadsheet or printed directly from Petrel.Making images for reporting is easy. Petrel is a Windows based application and hence tightly integrated with the Microsoft Office suite. The Copy/Paste functionality of 3D graphics from Petrel to, for example, PowerPoint or Word is an example of the easeofuse and speed in making figures and reports. See Reporting and Graphical Output for details.Plotting of maps, well sections and cross sections is also an important part of reporting. When a plotting window is opened, new tools bee available in the toolbar. The user can select almost any kind of data for plotting and designing the layout of the plot according to personal preference. Several different Plot windows with different settings can be saved for further use.More:TerminologyTerminologyPetrel introduces a few new terms and expressions. They are briefly explained below.3D Grid A network of horizontal and vertical lines used to describe a three dimensional geological model. Petrel uses the Corner Point 3D Grid technique.Artificial method Terminology used in the Make Surface process for creating a surface without using any input data.Attribute map A map based on a seismic attribute. Created by extracting data across a surface (a map of the average attribute within a certain offset from a surface or between two surfaces can also be extracted) from a seismic volume. The map can then be draped across this surface.Automatic legend A predefined template displaying the color table legend of a visualized object.Bitmap image An imported bitmap, . a BMP or a JPG file. If given UTM coordinates, it can be draped over a surface.Bulk Volume Total rock volume.Cell Volume The volume of a single cell in a Petrel grid.Connected Volume The process of calculating connected volumes in a discrete 3D property. Can be used to search for connected channels.Contact Level The level of a GasOil contact or an OilWater contact, normally at a constant depth.Contact Set A set of contacts defined by the user, to be used as input for volume calculation and/or for visualization.Cropping Creating a virtual volume by defining inline, crossline, and timerange.Crossline intersection Vertical seismic section perpendicular to the inline direction.Cross plot Two or more data sets plotted against each other (also called scatter plot).Datum A constant depth/time or surface used as a reference in measuring elevation.Depth Contours Contours for a horizon, representing equal depth or time values.Depth Conversion Converting Zvalues, from time domain to depth domain.Depth panel Vertical depth scale attached to a well within a well section folder and window.Display Window Window used for display of Petrel models. Two types of display windows are available: 2D and 3D.Dongle The same as a hardware key Also called software protection key. It controls the access and expiration dates of software modules.Drainage Area The area from which it is possible to produce hydrocarbons.Erosion Line Line defining truncation of one horizon against another.Fault Center Line Line connecting the midpoints of faulted pillars in a 3D grid.Fault Modeling The process of modeling fault planes in a three dimensional framework. The first step in fault modeling is creating key pillars.Fault Polygon An intersection line between a fault plane and a surface.Fault Stick (fault dip line) Lines describing the fault, usually from top to bottom.Fluid Constants Formation Volume Factors Bo for oil and Bg for gas. GOR: GasOilRatio. Strictly speaking the Recovery Factor is not a fluid constant, but it is found in the Fluid Constants menu of the Volume Calculations menu.Formation Volume Factor The ratio between hydrocarbon volumes at surface conditions and the volumes at reservoir conditions (Bo and Bg for oil and gas, respectively).Function Bar Also called toolbar (in Microsoft terminology). Group of icons on a horizontal or vertical bar. These icons change as different processes are selected in the Process Diagram.Function window Plot window used for display of functions, cross plots
