How to… define a new CRS and import Web Map Services in Petrel

Petrel has a lot of CRS (Coordinate Reference System) embedded in the main program. However, if your CRS is not listed, you must use a companion program called « Coordinate System Manager ». This program is in the windows menu -> Schlumberger – Petrel

Then the procedure is as follows:

1) Create your own CRS – Close and reopen Petrel to update the list – Define the new CRS

2) Start to import maps and WMS

So, follow the guide here:

STEP 1: create your own CRS

Now your CRS is defined in Petrel, you can import maps !

STEP 2: Start to import maps and WMS

We will start to import shapefiles.

Gebco is very common in marine geosciences. The address changes regularly, so just type « GEBCO WMS link » in google. This is the first result.

ENJOY !
