Our review
Pros
  • GPU and multi-GPU scaling for large, complex reservoir models
  • Petrel plug-in supports local, HPC-cluster, and cloud execution
  • Pay-per-use cloud option requires no local hardware
  • Combines collaborative engineering, offset-well analysis, and detailed design.
  • Supports contingency planning, automated procedures, and plan-versus-actual monitoring.
  • Connects the live plan with finance, contracts, vendors, schedules, and rig systems.
Cons
  • Licensing requires a sales quote rather than published prices
  • Advanced simulation workflows may exceed smaller teams’ needs
  • The Petrel plug-in is the specifically documented Windows workflow
  • Pricing requires contacting sales.
  • Web delivery may not suit teams that need a non-web platform.
  • Its stated rig connectivity may not fit workflows that depend on other system connections.
