STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 The oilfield services company Schlumberger Limited has renewed Tarleton State\u2019s license for PETREL, a $7.4 million software package it first donated to the university in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The <\/strong>platform, developed by Schlumberger, benefits the exploration and production sectors of the petroleum industry. It enables users to interpret seismic data, perform well correlation, build reservoir simulation models, examine reservoir simulation results, calculate volumes, produce maps and design development strategies to maximize reservoir exploitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PETREL has become an industry standard, allowing for 3D modeling of seismic and well log data and turning 2D isolated information into 3D integrated images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe PETREL software is an invaluable educational tool for students in the geology program,\u201d said Dr. Michael Huggins, Dean of the College of Science and Mathematics. \u201cIt gives them experiences using professional, real-world tools as part of their academic studies at Tarleton.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students use the software suite in the petroleum geology concentration of the geoscience bachelor\u2019s program, including courses in well log analysis, petroleum and subsurface geology, and seismic interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is an example of the many resume building experiences provided to STEM students in the College of Science and Mathematics,\u201d Dr. Huggins added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 The oilfield services company Schlumberger Limited has renewed Tarleton State\u2019s license for PETREL, a $7.4 million software package it first donated to the university in 2016.
