The new Ocean-Petrel Application Adapter (OPAA) from OpenSpirit offers seamless access to all the industry-standard project data stores, including GeoFrame, Finder, OpenWorks, PPDM, Recall, SEGY, SDE, and KINGDOM. End users can simultaneously work on multi-vendor and cross-disciplinary data stores with a simple step, without the need to learn multiple user interfaces. Petrel users can now be liberated from the time-consuming task of searching for the right data to load into Petrel. OPAA 2010 was released on June 30.
OPAA offers enhanced workflow possibilities and ease of use for both new and existing Petrel customers, such as:
- Data type and event coverage for well, seismic, interpretation, and culture data:
- Well data includes well logs, picks and velocities
- Interpretation data includes horizon grids, fault polylines, fault pointsets, and horizon-fault boundaries
- Import 2D/3D seismic surveys, lines, and datasets
- Import horizon and fault pointsets and horizon-fault boundaries
- Send/receive cursor tracking events
- Send GIS events for objects with geometry
- Selectively view bulk data on demand, such as previewing selected lines from a large 3D seismic volume without having to load entire data into memory
- Import point, polyline, and polygon features directly from SDE
- Match-N-Merge ability allows easy synchronization of data between Petrel projects and project data stores using familiar Petrel user interfaces. Users can control which attributes to match.
- Audit trail on objects imported/exported via OpenSpirit enables history tracking.
- Automatic unit and coordinate conversions from project data store to Petrel on the fly.
- Work simultaneously with data from multiple projects setup with multiple unit and coordinate systems. OPAA will do the hard work of presenting data in a user-preferred unit and coordinate system using industry-standard EPSG codes.
- Intuitive project wizards offer a simplified user experience. Wizard-Driven Data Validation prompts users when critical data is required, eliminating errors resulting from incorrect project setup, such as invalid cartographic reference, unit, or seismic reference datum.
- Interact with other OpenSpirit-enabled applications using OpenSpirit Data Selection/Grid/GIS events.
- Send well information from Petrel to GOCAD or send culture data from ESRI ArcMap to Petrel
- Interact with other applications, such as iPoint, SeisWare, RokDoc, ProSource, Google Earth, and the OpenSpirit Web Server.
- Import, save, and display attributes from data stores even if attributes do not map to standard Petrel attributes.
OPAA 2010, released on June 30, includes the following enhancements
- Send/Receive GIS events that include all feature attributes (may be used in conjunction with OpenSpirit ArcGIS Extension).
- Send/Receive GIS events that include simple display attributes, such as point size and color, line color and width, and polygon fill color and opacity (may be used in conjunction with OpenSpirit ArcGIS Extension 2010).
- "Classify" Petrel point and polygon objects as specified feature types and allow addition and editing of associated attributes.
- Perform multiple object export in a single dialog.
- Import to a selected, or hightlighted, folder in the Petrel tree.
- Perform Match-and-Merge on non-Petrel properties.
- Option to import wells without their associated checkshots.
- Migrate OpenSpirit data keys for markers from previous Petrel versions, or if desired, delete OpenSpirit data keys.
When used in conjunction with OpenSpirit v3.2.2 or higher, OPAA can be run in Import Only mode, in order to restrict write-back access to OpenSpirit data stores. (v3.2.2 scheduled for release in late July) - Developed, maintained, and supported by OpenSpirit.
Using the new Ocean-Petrel Application Adapter, you can access G&G data anywhere in the enterprise and take control of your interpretation workflows. Focusing on interpretation is now easier than ever before.
