PETRA®

The industry’s most popular PC software integrating geological, engineering and petrophysical analysis along with seismic interpretation and display tools.

Together PETRA and PetraSeis provide geoscientists an integrated application with a common data base and interface for all project and data management, well log analysis, mapping, cross-sections, seismic integration and interpretation, production and reservoir analysis and 3D visualization.

Typically used by: 

  • Geologists
  • Production and Reservoir Engineers
  • Petrophycists
  • Geophysicists
  • Geoscience Technicians
  • Project Managers
  • Business Analysts

PETRA is used for many different workflows such as: 

  • Regional and local studies
  • Geologic interpretation
  • Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures
  • Well log analysis
  • Production & reservoir analysis
  • Infill drilling
  • Conventional & unconventional plays
