Using Petrel During Drilling

This document discusses how the Petrel 2007 software can be used to visualize drilling data in 3D geological models to help manage drilling risk and monitor operations. It allows evaluation of reservoir models during well planning, drilling, and post-drilling. Key capabilities include well path design, correlation of well logs, and real-time updating of well data during drilling. Connecting Petrel to real-time data sources like InterACT during drilling allows visualizing operational problems and updating the geological model in real time. Using Petrel during drilling can help reduce costs by improving planning, interpreting data more accurately, and evaluating risks better.

Using Petrel during Drilling 2007

Visualization of data in Petrel for drilling risk


management and operations surveillance
applying knowledge of geosciences
Petrel 2007

Petrel Seismic to Simulation


Software provides the necessary
tools for visualization and interaction
between a 3D geological model and
drilling operations, integrating every
area of geosciences in an improved
core to cover from seismic to
simulation Workflow

Petrel allows an efficient evaluation


of reservoir models during pre-drilling
(Well design), operations (Real-Time
updates) and/or post-drilling
(revision, re design, etc)
With Petrel Well design Module you can do…

• Well paths, sidetracks or multilaterals


design using seismic lines, 3D
Petrophysical models, 2D reservoir
maps drawn on simulation results, etc

• Well path reports on fault intersection,


well tops and synthetic logs

• Setting Dog leg severity range for


every designed path

• “Error Cones” on well paths to ensure


the correct position of drilling objectives

• Vertical well sections automatically


updated, while well paths are adjusted or
updated

• Well visualization on seismic, faults,


well picks, properties, etc
Petrel Well Correlation allows…

•Well logs visualization for correlation and


edition

•Well tops Creation, visualization and


edition

• Wells classification by stage (perforation,


production, injection, etc.)

• Visualization of Stratigraphic horizons,


faults, contacts etc.

• Well correlation, seismic and synthetics

• Discrete well logs creation by correlation


and interpretation as Facies, lithology, etc

• Design and edition of casing, perforation


marks, etc. (well completion design)
Real Time Visualization

With the Petrel Real-Time link


(Petrel* 2007) is possible to
update well logs, well paths and
events during operation, using
WITSML data sources such as
e.g. InterACT*

The drilling surveillance trough


3D model gives a general image
of earth in real time, allowing to
know the geology of zone and
identifying possible structural
obstacles during operations.

Operative problems during


drilling, like mechanical or
casing problems, can be
visualized in Petrel.
To connect to InterACT*, trough the Real-Time data link
in Petrel* 2007, follow the next steps:

Rigth Click on a well


and select
Connect
to Real-Time data link
Select the WITSML data source
(in this case InterACT*) and
access data to a personal
account, previously created in:
https://www.interact.slb.com/

Click Select Wellbore


Select the well

Click Connect to Wellbore


Select desired data
To be download

Click Start Transfer


Select the desired template for every
downloaded log Data visualization
Is automatic!
Using Petrel during Drilling 2007 - Advantages
REDUCING TIME AND MONEY LOST:

•Working together, geoscientists and field


engineers, it’s possible to reduce planning or
interpretation mistakes

• Having less engineers on well site (they are in


the office) gives some benefits of security,
logistics and more efficient use of human
resources

• Risk evaluation involving technical elements;


fundamental on viability analysis

•Facies modeling allows to know pore pressure


and fracture gradient in combination with 3D
seismic analysis

•Right prediction of geomechanical risk, reduces


risk in perforation and allows a faster evaluation
and re-planning of operation
Using Petrel during Drilling 2007 - Advantages
REDUCING TIME AND MONEY LOST:

•3D visualizations give a better


understanding of spatial relationships
between wells and geological bodies (right
decisions) .

•Operation Planning closer to execution

• Seismic interpretation together with real-


time data, gives a 3D geological model
closer to reality
