Highlight of the month – How to capture and save pictures from and into Petrel ?

1 – Copy Bitmap 2 – Go under Main tool bar / Edit / Paste Bitmap 3 – The Bitmap will appear at the bottom of the input data 4 – The Bitmap does not have coordinates so it cannot be v isualized in 3D. 5 - If you have the module “Surface Imaging”, you can assign coordinates to the picture and see it in 3D domain. 6 – If not it can only be v isualized in a map or plot windows

In Petrel, you can easily import Bitmap as well as JPEG images, so you can get for example your PowerPoint slides directly inside Petrel (workflow described in December 2005 issue). You can also save some screen captures directly inside your project:
