PETRIMES
PETRIMES, the Petroleum Exploration Resources Evaluation System, is powerful and versatile. With this system, you can manipulate reservoir and well data in a variety of ways, from simple graphic displays to complex and sophisticated statistical analyses that may be used to reveal the hydrocarbon potential of plays, basins, or regions.
Basics
PETRIMES is comprehensive and very easy to use. However, before using the system, you should:
- be familiar with well and reservoir data in order to be able to effectively operate the Reservoir and Well Data Base systems
- be experienced in the operation of the KEDIT text editor
- understand the principles, concepts, and statistical assumptions associated with the evaluation procedure (Lee and Wang, 1990)
- be experienced in the use of graphic function
PETRIMES comprises four databases, statistical and graphic computer programs, and a "Manager" The "Manager" communicates between you and the system and is also responsible for output/input between programs.
Capabilities
PETRIMES is capable of performing the following tasks:
- outlining play boundaries, using polygons
- retrieving pools and/or wells for given formations within the polygons
- plotting exploration histories by drill-sequence of wells, according to time series or spatial distributions
- estimating numbers and sizes of undiscovered pools for given plays
- displaying reservoir parameters using various types of plots
- manipulating or mapping reservoir or well parameters
- constructing or estimating various probability distributions for reservoir parameters of specific plays or regions
System requirements
PETRIMES will operate on a PC, but in order to run it properly in a personal computer environment, you will need an IBM AT or compatible PC computer with DOS 4.0 or higher and a minimum of 8 megabytes of extended memory and 300 megabytes of hard disk space. An enhanced graphic adaptor, EGA or better, and KEDIT text editor are also required.
