1.1.2 Import From Petrel*

Reading data from a Petrel* project is available in various OpendTect workflows via insert icon , which allows to either access data directly from a Petrel* data store via links or physically copy data to an OpendTect project. Either method gives full potential for manipulation, interpretation and processing.

Survey > Import menus have PetrelDirect option for supported objects.

There are two ways to use data from a Petrel* project in OpendTect:

• Link to Petrel*:
  • no data duplication;
  • data is available only when the Petrel* project is running and PetrelDirect connection is active (i.e. Petrel* license is tied).
• OpendTect copy:
  • physical copy in OpendTect format;
  • no restrictions on data access (i.e. Petrel* license is not tied and data is accessible to all users).

The following data can be read from Petrel* to OpendTect:

• Faults (since 6.0.4) and FaultStickSets
• 2D and 3D horizons
• 2D and 3D seismic
• 3D prestack seismic
• Wavelets
• Wells (tracks, time-depth models, logs and markers)

Use Ctrl+A and Ctrl+Shift+A shortkeys to select/de-select all items in the list.

It is now possible to import/export multiple objects.

Batch processing for importing objects is now available for Faults, FaultSticks, Horizons and Seismic Cubes. A check box to use the original name is provided which should be checked in case the same needs to remain identical to the object in the Petrel project. Any name entered into the field adjacent to this will be used as the 'base name' for the objects.
