Petrel Fundamentals: Well & Seismic Interpretation, Data QC & Workflow Training

Learn Petrel the Way It’s Used in Industry

This course is a complete beginner-to-intermediate guide to Petrel, focused on practical workflows used by geoscientists and engineers in the oil and gas industry.

You will learn how to work with real subsurface data, perform quality control, and carry out well and seismic interpretation step by step.

What You’ll Learn

• Petrel interface and project setup (CRS, units, structure)

• Data preparation and validation before import

• Importing well data (logs, deviation surveys, formation tops)

• Seismic data loading and visualization

• Data QC and cross-checking techniques

• Well correlation (structural & stratigraphic)

• Seismic to well tie (checkshot loading, sonic calibration, wavelet extraction, synthetic generation)

• Seismic interpretation (mistie analysis, horizon picking, fault interpretation)

• Surface generation from interpreted horizons

Why This Course Is Different

Most Petrel courses either focus only on theory or isolated tools.

This course teaches a complete workflow:
From raw data → QC → interpretation → surface creation

You will gain a clear understanding of how subsurface data is handled in real projects.

Who This Course Is For

• Geology and geophysics students

• Early-career Geoscientists

• Reservoir engineers

• Professionals starting with Petrel

• Anyone interested in well and seismic interpretation

Requirements

• Basic knowledge of petroleum geology or geophysics

• No prior Petrel experience required

By the End of This Course

You will be able to confidently:

• Work inside the Petrel environment

• Import and manage subsurface datasets

• Perform well correlation and seismic interpretation

• Execute well-to-seismic tie workflows

• Generate surfaces from interpreted data
