Introduction
Background
 While we perform a Information Management Project,
clean up process for seismic interpretation data is the most time consuming step.
 To enhance the speed of the data clean up, we suggest petrel work-flow for auto-
mergence
of 2D seismic interpretation.
 There is a case that same horizon interpretation is separated as difference interpretation
with same name. Merging all these horizon one by one manually is quite boring and
burdensome job.

Problem & Solution

 By using Petrel workflow, we are going to merge 2D seismic interpretation with same
name.
⁃ Firstly, convert each seismic to point data
⁃ Merge each point data with same name to one-set of point data
⁃ Convert merged point data to seismic horizon interpretation
Structure of Workflow

YES

NO
Petrel Workflow (1/3)

 Designate horizon interpretations to be merged

Petrel Workflow (2/3)

 Generate new folder to save intermediate product & convert each horizon interpretations
to point

 Release point data to the folder based on name

Petrel Workflow (3/3)

 After appending each point data set, convert them to seismic horizon interpretation
 Finalize the algorithm & eliminate intermediate product such as point data
How to Use
Step 1.
 Input the seismic horizon interpretation to the Reference list

Step 2.
 Designate the seismic survey to convert point data set

Step 3.
 Run the workflow & Quality check the result.

Advantage & Limitation

Advantage of suggested workflow

 We can enhance the speed of mergence process
which is one of the most burdensome job in data clean up.

 Well organize the interpretation data.

Limitations

 All interpretations to be merged should be set as same name before run the
workflow.
