    Chose geoSCOUT
    GeoScout is very good for basic subsurface geology. It is fairly easy to use, once you figure out where different command buttons and functions are located. Data is already within GeoScout so you do not have to import anything. Petrel is much more powerful and provides a lot of …

    There are really only 2 tools in industry that have the function of geoSCOUT (the other being Accumap.) Both are similar. I'd recommend geoSCOUT for project/area specific work. I'd recommend Accumap for start-up companies who are trying to establish their 'playground' as it's easier to navigate province wide assets, whereas new maps are required for geoSCOUT.

    Petrel is an extremely powerful tool and for geological 3D modeling is the go-to tool, it's Sequential Indicator Simulations, Object-Based modeling or multiple point statistics modeling workflows are top notches and I highly advise its use. I wouldn't recommend using it for seismic interpretation based on seismic attributes since it can be a little bit limited in this aspect.

    • Petrel handles multiple coordinate systems better than competitors.
    • The object tree organization in Petrel is intuitive and user-friendly.
    • Easy to handle data across multiple UTM zones by allowing geodesic coordinates.

    Cons
    geoLOGIC systems
    • Cross sections are not always that visually appealing. Cross sections from Petrel look much better.

    • Petrel is extremely expensive, working with it in a small company is almost impossible. This shouldn't be an issue for a large company or for a big university with a large budget for investigation.
    • Since it has so many functions it can be overwhelming once you begin using it, so I highly recommend to pay for a Schlumberger instructor.
    • The seismic attributes could be improved since they are not entirely accurate.

    Accumap is also a similar tool. The two tools contain the same information, although geoSCOUT has extra modules which have been somewhat useful. For the most part, engineers pull raw production, completions and facilities data. geoSCOUT is better for visualizing plans and allowing toggling of different considerations using the layer manager.

    I use Petrel and competitor products for different functions. If I didn't have Petrel, it would be a lot more difficult to work with my aerially extensive dataset and manipulate my data with geographic coordinates.

    • Working at the University of Oklahoma the investment is well paid since geoscientist are formed with the best tool available.
    • Keeping in mind that the software is really expensive, for the product to have an economic positive impact the project's revenue has to be large.
