The GIS Data Link for Petrel plugin makes it easy to export data from Petrel to ArcGIS features in a geodatabase. native ArcGIS formats
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 and download the software.
Installing the plugin
Extract the downloaded .zip archive to a folder on your computer.
In Petrel go to File→Options File→Options → Plug-in manager, press Install plug-in ... and browse in the Geocap.Petrel.ArcGis-XY.pip inside the extracted folder (where XY is the version number and Petrel version).
Using the plugin
Please enable the Processes pane from the Panes button under the Home toolbar.
The plug-in installs a new Petrel process Export data to ArcGIS geodatabase in the Processes → Plug-ins group folder.
NB! Before actually exporting any data you need to go to the Settings tab in the plug-in GUI and press the Install button in the License section. You then browse in a license file which you should have received together with the .pip file. the plugin .pip file
Open the export menu
To open the plug-in menu:
Go to the Home toolbar in Petrel, press the Panes button and select Processes.
In the Processes pane go to the Plug-ins group folder and double click Export data to ArcGIS geodatabase
Selecting data
Export wells
If at least one well is selected this process creates it will create 5 feature classes (tables):
Wellheads
...
- The Wellheads
...
feature class contains
...
one geographical point for each wellhead. Each feature in the feature class corresponds to one well head.
Boreholes - Each wellhead may have one or more boreholes (trajectories). Each borehole is a line in the Boreholes
...
feature class.
WellLogs - Each borehole may have one or more logs. Each log is a line in the WellLogs table.
DictionaryColorTables - One or more of these logs may be discrete. Each discrete log, eg. Facies, has a row in the DictionaryColorTables table for each value with CodeName (eg. Sand)
WellTops - Each borehole may also have one or more welltops. There is one feature for each welltop in the WellTops table.
Export 2D seismic
Export 3D seismic
Export Surfaces
If at least one 2d seismic line has been selected a feature class named SeismicLines is created with one line feature per seismic 2d line.
...
To have the output from the Geocap Petrel plugin available in web 3D:
Create a map containing all feature classes
Publish the map as a map service. This will give you a URL for the well head feature layer.
In the Geocap seismic web app add the well head feature layer URL to the 3D viewer. The wells will then appear in the table of contents.
Surfaces may also be published as a map service. Please run the "Batch Calculate Statistics" geoprocessor tool on the surfaces before publishing.
