Introduction
The ArcGIS database exporter GIS Data Link for Petrel plugin makes it easy to export data from Petrel to ArcGIS to ArcGIS features in a geodatabase.
...
Supported data types
The ArcGIS database exporter plugin allows you to export well headers, trajectories, well logs, well tops, 2D seismic lines, seismic cubes, surfaces, 2d horizon interpretations, 3d horizon interpretation grids, point sets and polylines to an ArcGIS geodatabase.

Downloading the plugin
Please contact info@geocap.no for details on how to acquire the software.
Installing the plugin
Extract the downloaded .zip archive to a folder on your computer.

You may either let the Export data to ArcGIS geodatabase process create a new file geodatabase or append to an existing one.
Viewing in ArcGIS Pro
All feature classes can be viewed in 3D ArcGIS as is without any further manipulation except for the well logs which require correlation with the trajectories and will therefore not appear in a meaningful way in the 3D display.
