I highly recommend Petrel for its capabilities and usefulness.

Pros

This is an extremely powerful and versatile platform that supports a wide range of data inputs such as well location, formation data, and well logging, etc. As a researcher in petroleum engineering, I really find the software to be incredibly helpful. The interface with Eclipse for reservoir simulation is particularly handy, and the ability to communicate easily with other Schlumberger software is a plus.

Cons

One major downside of the software is the cost, especially for smaller organizations. However, if budget is not an issue, then this is definitely a great tool for petroleum engineering applications.

Pros

Artificial intelligence is the most impact feature. The software is easy to use.

Cons

The lack of strata slicing and efficient automatic fault extraction technology found in Paleoscan and Opendtect which easy interpretation.

I have been using Petrel to do well to well correlation

Pros

Fault sticks aren't as clunky as the previous model, it is able to run smoother. I use petrel strangely to view wireline logging data and correlation.

Cons

Wireline logging part of Petrel is not as good as other software, should have a petrophysics function too

Very useful in the oil industry for interpreting seismic data and create models.

Pros

Very powerful platform for managing huge volume of data along with platform for automating workflows. Helps to interpret seismic volume.

Cons

License cost is very high which does not include plugins cost.

Pros

Making models of subsurface formations using data from boreholes.

Cons

I think that there should be a free trial version of this software, but I understand that it's purpose is to be used strictly proffessional.

On one occasion, I was assigned a project, where I had to represent 77 inverse faults (complex structural model), I had to installed Petrel 2014 and work structural framework to represent the seismic model.

Pros

The way to integrate the stratigraphic model, the structural Geology, the sedimentological model & the petrophysical model. With Petrel is possible to visualize the reservoir in 3D, the reduce the geological uncertainty and improve the explotation planes.

Cons

The well correlations is good but it can be improved.

The 3D visualization and better understanding of any reservoir.

Pros

I like how easy it is for using, because it allows use it just following a predetermined workflow, but also one can change many parameters when it is used by an expert user.

Cons

I could say, the weakness existent for seismic processing, it would be great to have the possibility of work a reservoir model in their fully.
