Blueback Reservoir Engineering Toolbox

Speed up and expand your Petrel RE workflows

The Blueback Toolbox suite of Petrel* plug-ins contains Petrel functionality features not available in standard Petrel. It has been developed by the Blueback Reservoir development team using the Petrel development framework called Ocean*. All functionality has been developed based on requests from Petrel users around the world and the development is coordinated with the Petrel software teams at Schlumberger.

The Reservoir Engineering (RE) Toolbox contains a number of small plug-ins filling functionality gaps in Petrel. The focus is to provide Petrel users with functionality features speeding up and improving the various reservoir engineering workflows. This also includes functionality for data QC and plotting.

The tools include functionality for dedicated Sw-modeling, 3D grid checks, interactive and flexible tartan gridding, fast well track generation, and other tools in the Petrel reservoir engineering domain. The RE Toolbox gives you a rich set of tools, where our frequent releases provide a steady increase of functionality based on feedback from Petrel users.

Is there specific missing features in Petrel that you would like to add? Get in touch with us to discuss how we can help you and your company to optimize your workflows and Petrel usage.


Quickly create multiple vertical wells with the interactive well picker


The 3D grid QC tool provides a range of geometry checks of the 3D grid cells

FUNCTIONALITY HIGHLIGHTS

  • The Sw modeling calculator is a much needed tool for Petrel users. It is designed as its own process step, and provides functionality for estimating J-curves based on your log data. Then the Sw calculator uses the J-curves together with your petrophysical properties to model a Sw property. This tool provides a straightforward and fast solution to a very common workflow for most reservoir modeling projects
  • 3D Grid QC is an easy way of investigating the quality of your 3D grid. It features a set of new geometrical modeling properties all tied into an easy-to-use interface. The user has the option to create new properties in the model, or to just export the QC results to a text file. In addition it is possible to include the characteristics of existing grid properties to a text file report. As irregular grid cells can have an unwanted effect on reservoir modeling and flow simulation algorithms, this tool is ideal for quality checking your grid
  • Tartan gridding. A simple and interactive way of designing tartan grids, with particular focus on constraining grid lines to multiple wells with variable growth rates on the cell thickness. With the Tartan grid tool the user can test the effect of different growth rates on flow simulation performance and select the optimal setup for detailed flow simulation study. Tartan gridding is as a process in the process tree and is workflow enabled
  • The Interactive well picking tool lets you quickly create vertical wells in the 3D/2D windows by clicking at a data object. The well path lengths can be specified, or it can be limited between surfaces. The tool speeds up the workflows where you want to test your simulation cases using different well positions for injectors/producers


Tartan grids

  • Back calculate contacts. Moving fluid contacts can be easily obtained from simulated saturation distributions. Contacts are represented either as a 3D property model or a 2D surface
  • Auto generate RE plots from multiple cases. Line plots of production data in the active function window are output in a csv format that is immediately suitable for reporting purposes of quantities like fluids-in-place and production rates. The output format does not require additional processing and re-formatting in spreadsheet applications like Excel but allows for direct comparison between many different simulation cases on any quantity of interest.
  • RelPerm generator. Next to generating standard Corey type relative permeability curves, the RelPerm generator allows to generate LET-type of relative permeability curves as well. Furthermore, capillary pressure curves can be generated for water-wet, oil-wet or mixed-wet rock
  • Rename multiple cases. Save time by renaming multiple cases in one operation
