Petrel 20 Years

The Petrel E&P software platform started 20 years ago when Technoguide, a Norwegian startup based in Oslo, released the first version of Petrel 1.0 in December 1998.

The Petrel platform has become an industry standard and has revolutionized the way we work in all domains. Today, the active global community of users continue to push the boundaries of subsurface understanding using the Petrel platform.

In creating this special anniversary book, we want to take a moment to reflect on that history and to celebrate the many achievements we have made together with you—our customers and partners.
