I like the strong modeling integration of Petrel from petrophysics, seismic interpretation, geology, reservoir engineering, and geophysics. It has the ability to integrate all kinds of data types and make the good benifit of interpretation. I also like the very impressive visual feeling in 3D. It is striking to inset a plot of Petrel into my presentation or paper.
I can quickly test my idea by editing the model, run simulation (with ECLIPSE or INTERSECT), and see the results. There is seldom a software can do everything in the life of E&P and also display results as good as for a peer reviewed paper.
It is an excellent modulator when carrying out some geological exploration, since it gives you the minimum properties of the deposit such as porosity, permeability among others, factors that are of great importance at the time of the simulation.
