Apache Corp. has selected Schlumberger Information Systems’(SIS) Petrel as its primary interpretation tool. Petrel will enable Apache asset teams to integrate technical disciplines from seismic to simulation in an ‘intuitive and collaborative’ environment. Petrel will interface with Apache’s OpenWorks data stores via OpenSpirit. Apache is to replace its legacy interpretation packages with Petrel tools.
