The Anatomy of a Variogram
Variograms are a cornerstone of spatial statistics, and are used to describe the variability between data points within a data set as a function of the distance that separates them. Variograms become of critical importance in most geomodelling workflows which use Kriging, as they can describe how much weight to […]

Five Essential Focus Areas in Geomodeling
In my last geomodeling post, I talked a little bit about what exactly geomodeling entails. Now I want to step in a bit deeper, and look into what, in my mind, constitute the fundamental focus areas in creating a realistic, functional, and usable 3D geocellular model. I call these focus […]

Petrel Coffee Break- UI, Part 3: Customizing Petrel’s User Interface
In this episode of Petrel Coffee Break, we look into customizing Petrel’s User Interface (UI). The tools you learn in this video allow you to bring commonly used operations to the forefront of the UI, hide features you don’t use, organize data from multiple explorer panes into one group, and even customize and preserve window layouts and displays.

Petrel Coffee Break- UI, Part 2: Display
In this episode of Petrel Coffee Break, we will continue exploring the Petrel User Interface, this time by learning how to display data in the 3D window. It will show you how to display data and modify their appearance.
