Do you know that your seismic data can be displayed as geological outcrops ? Try a pseudo-relief attribute. It can be calculated in kingdom and then exported to Petrel. Follow the guide ! In the top ribbon, click on the…
Loading data in Petrel can be a nightmare ! Particularly the provided toolbox which is supposed to help… So, I’m using kingdom to load all seismic profiles I need and then I transfer to Petrel using the Gateway. It’s really…
Propagating horizons over large datasets can lead to multiple horizons . At some point you may realize that two different horizons are in fact the same. You don’t need to redo the propagation ! You can merge horizons. Expand both…
It’s very common to get this message when loading sgy data in Petrel. Don’t PANIC !!! It means that duplicate XY points were found either in sgy and/or in the nav file. Just remove them and try loading again. Here,…
In some cases, you get a file with coordinates in decimal degrees. Loading these data or converting the file to UTM coordinates can be a nightmare. Don’t panic ! Here is an example of such a file: in this file,…
Once you have calculated volume attributes, you can scan your 3D block using a timeslice. It provides a good first looks of what’s inside your block. however, as it’s a timeslice, it means you are looking features on the same…
Loading well data can be a nightmare. The very important thing is to check whether the window is displayed in time (TWT). Have a look at the top of the window and select either TWT or TVD (in meters) or…
Interpreting faults in seismic data leads to numerous mistakes (or misunderstanding). The most important thing is: In seismic softwares, a fault = one fault plane ! It has consequences on how to manage large collections of faults. It means that…
