PetroMod 1D
PetroMod 1D allows data input, model setup, simulation, and output
of results in one application. The 1D capabilities support single-point
data (wells and pseudowells) which can be constructed from scratch,
imported from Petrel or the PetroMod Well Editor function, or extracted
directly from PetroMod 2D and 3D models.

PetroMod 1D can be used as a standalone tool, or as a fully integrated

component of PetroMod 2D and 3D. Calibrated wells with calibration
results such as heat flow trends can be used by the 2D and 3D
simulators. As a result, P/T modeling calibration is performed efficiently
in all workflows. The output results offer a choice between numerous
calculated overlays and plots (depth, time, and burial), and allow
the display of input and output data adjacent to each other. The results
page offers an ideal canvas for preparation of presentations.
PetroMod 3D Core software enables full 3D assessment of pressure and
temperature in a sedimentary basin through geological time.
