Petrel is a software platform by Schlumberger Information Solutions used in the exploration and production sector of the petroleum industry.

It is a cloud-based platform designed to develop collaborative workflows to increase oil and gas performance.

[1] Technoguide was formed in 1996 by former employees of Geomatic, some of whom were key programmers involved in the early development of RMS.

Technoguide made 3D geologic modeling more accessible to all subsurface technical staff, including those without specialist training.

Newer versions of Petrel include additional functionality such as geological modeling, seismic interpretation, uncertainty analysis, well planning, and links to reservoir simulators.
