Petrel is a powerful and widely used program by geoscientists and engineers who work with subsurface data. With it you can make from a simple map map from well markers to a complex model of a reservoir with its corresponding surfaces, faults and fluids. Despite these tremendous capabilities of Petrel, certain simple data analysis tasks, such as a histogram or regression, are complicated, cumbersome or incomplete. Although there are plugins that solve these shortcomings of Petrel, Python is a flexible and free alternative for analysis of data residing in Petrel.
The objective of this Notebook is to show through an example how Python can be used as a complement to Petrel's data analysis tasks. The example compares thickness obtained in Petrel from tops and from a seismic surface, and then finds the best regression between them.
Here is a list of libraries necessary for this notebook:
numpy
matplotlib
pandas
scikit-learn
