The Mapping Workflow in Petrel
Many who move to Petrel from another mapping program are confused as to how to do in Petrel the functions they did in that other program. The Mapping Workflow is a common activity that must be done and yet is not intuitive to new Petrel users. Petrel has all the tools to execute the Mapping Workflow and those tools work very well. Learning which tools to use, where those tools are located, and in what order to execute them is the Petrel learning curve. This TIPS&TRICKS article describes what the Mapping Workflow is and walks you through the main steps of that workflow. The article is too short to go into detail on all aspects of the Workflow. You can learn those details through trial and error, by asking other users, or by taking SCM’s Mapping Workflow course (called Intermediate). The authors’ hope this brief introduction will jumpstart your Petrel mapping experience and provide the foundation you need to take advantage of further training, regardless of where you get it.
