Geocellular Modeling
Geocellular models represent reservoir characteristics in three dimensions
PRCL builds models in Petrel™ software, using data derived from well logs, core, and seismic
Interpretive geological input is critical to optimize accuracy of structural and stratigraphic reservoir relationships
PRCL works with affiliated reservoir engineering consultants to populate reservoir simulation (fluid flow) models with geocellular results
