Petrel 2008.1 Reservoir Engineering
Sector modeling Completions Equipment Hydraulic fractures Development strategies Local gridding Compositional Variables in user keywords
Schlumberger Public
Petrel 2008.1 Sector Modeling
Extract a sector model and flow or pressure boundary conditions from the full field model. Add a local grid, insert an infill well and quickly simulate the sector model
Schlumberger Public
Petrel 2008.1 Completions
Equipment Globally defined e.g. properties of 95/8 casing Use in many/all wells Changes to equipment properties ripple through to all wells that use it Casing & Tubing Strings Allow properties of casing and tubing to vary with depth
Schlumberger Public
Petrel 2008.1 Hydraulic Fractures
Fractures are defined by length, height, permeability and orientation Simulated by modifying well PI and transmissibility of surrounding cells No need for LGR - quicker full field simulation
Schlumberger Public
Petrel 2008.1 Hydraulic Fractures - Petrel vs. ECLIPSE NWM
Fracture on producing lateral Modeled by Petrel and by unstructured LGR from NWM Constant production rate
Schlumberger Public
Petrel 2008.1 Hydraulic Fractures - Petrel vs. ECLIPSE NWM
Near identical BHP 6 times faster from Petrel (same speed as no fracture)
Schlumberger Public
Petrel 2008.1 Development Strategies
Filtering of Development Strategy tree Historical quantities automatically calculated: Field Ratios (water cut, GOR, OGR) Support for time steps < 1 day Well efficiency factor in both history and prediction Well model option rule Valves automatically expanded in tabular rules
Filter to B9
Schlumberger Public
Petrel 2008.1 Gradual local grids
Gradually coarsening of local grids around wells Linear or logarithmic increase in cell size away from the well

Petrel 2008.1 Compositional fluids
Import matched equation of state Define the samples compositions Plot samples phase envelopes Include EOS in simulation
Schlumberger Public
Petrel 2008.1 Variables in user keywords
Variables in user keywords allows Petrel uncertainty to apply to all ECLIPSE data, including that not yet in user interface Insert Petrel workflow in a user keyword; e.g. INCLUDE ..\..\RockTab$loop.inc / Define variable value in workflow loop:

Real-Time Data Link for Petrel
New real-time sources:
RigLink, InSite. Optionally specify start index for data loading. Support for connections via proxy. Filtering organization and field in InterACT connections. More feedback when no matching data is found. Change focus on current server without needing to log in again. Send logs from Petrel back to real-time server (certified for InterAct only).
More control:

Petrel 2008.1 Reference project workflows
Improved Usability Can open Petrel 2005 projects as read-only source of data Guides the user to the reference project in use Opens automatically when only one reference project is in use Units and coordinates aware Allows movement of most data items only when units and coordinates match Allows movement of some data items (templates) when coordinates dont match Allows movement of some data items (windows, workflows) when units & coordinates dont match
Schlumberger Public
Petrel 2008.1 Reference projects - advanced workflows
Reference Project Tool now allows wells to pair up using natural match criteria
Match by well name, UWI, surface location, etc. Allows dependent data to be merged in destination project Can match manually
