We now have a new video demonstrating the features of the new Wizard, available in VelPAK Kingdom 2016, Velit 1.8 for Petrel, and you can view this on our YouTube channel here:
The webinar gives a quick overview of the new Wizard functionality that is available in the Kingdom 2016 and Velit 1.8 releases. For Kingdom, the software is branded as VelPAK, and for Petrel as Velit, however the functional use of the Wizard is exactly the same in both versions. Velit 1.8 is available as a plug-in to Petrel versions 2013, 2014, 2015 and beyond.
The Wizard provides easy, step by step instructions for each available depth conversion method, with the ability to fine tune your selected parameters and review data displays as you step through each option. Help screens, which are context-sensitive, show in detail where the data for the method is derived, with examples illustrating the meaning of any of the presented options.
The new Wizard provides a simple to use entry point to surface grid depth conversion, with the most frequently used techniques incorporated as requested by our customers. For depth conversion you can use formation tops and grid time pairs, velocity log curves and seismic velocities.
Driving the software manually, or through the Workflow system provide many more depth conversion options and methods than the Wizard, but the Wizard is a good starting place to begin your investigation of the data in your project. You can of course combine using the Wizard, Workflow or manual methods for each of the layers in the model, or use the wizard to prepare data for manual methods as required.
The webinar covers a few simple operational steps using the wizard, with a demonstration of fitting regression lines to well apparent interval velocities to derive a simple depth conversion function. Interactive selection of well data and the generation of residual error correction grids is demonstrated.
Subsequent webinars on using the Wizard will cover numerical optimisation for well based velocity functions, calibrating seismic velocities to wells for depth conversion, kriging well velocities with external drift and the generation of pseudo-wells from seismic velocities.
