Pie Charts or Bubble Maps
This TIPS&TRICKS is intended to aid a person working in Petrel who needs to make a display showing the
relative proportion of different areas of a dataset. Each pie represents the size relationship between the
parts of an object and the entire object.
This article was created using Petrel 2013.7 and a sample pie chart (in a Map window) using the Gulfaks
dataset is shown below.

Pie Charts in Petrel
For this article, we will only discuss pie charts using data found in the Input pane; and not the bubble maps
that can be created using summary data from Simulator runs.
Pie charts may only be displayed in Map, Interpretation and Intersection windows (along with Map and
Intersection viewports on a Plot window). Data used to create the pie charts comes from either a Well
Tops object or a Pointset object with attributes.
Note the radio buttons between the icons and the attribute names. This indicates that only one attribute
can be displayed in the active window. When a Map window is the active window, the same Pointset
would look like:
Now, the radio buttons have been replaced with boxes indicating that multiple attributes can be displayed
in the active window. When the Settings Style tab for the dataset is displayed, it might appear with the
Symbol radio button active. If all the attributes for the pie chart are set active in the Pointset, it still
appears without any bubbles on the map window:

Merely clicking on the Pie Chart radio button allows the bubbles to show.
You can adjust the parameters to make the bubbles appear as you want them to appear.

How are these Pointsets with attributes created? There are two main ways to create them; importing the
data including the attributes and having a previously created pointset and adding the attributes.
Import the data including the attributes from an ASCII file. There are two sub‐options here; importing a
file with headers and importing a file with no headers.
4
If you are lucky enough to have a file with headers, importing it is very easy.
1. Right‐click on the folder where you want to import the file and choose Import (on selection)
a) Navigate to the folder where the data is stored
b) Change the Files of type: to Petrel points with attributes (ASCII) (*.*)
c) Click on the file (it appears in the File name: box and click Open.
5
d) The Import Petrel points with attributes window appears. The top of the window contains the
attributes that Petrel has read from the file with headers.
The bottom of the window contains the first few lines of the file:
6
e) Make the window large enough so you can scroll through the window and confirm that the
attributes at the top of the window actually match the data at the bottom of the window. When
satisfied, click on the OK or OK for all button.
f) Another window appears allowing you to set the template and Coordinate Reference System (CRS)
of the dataset. Again, click OK or OK for all.

g) The data is imported into the Input pane.
2. You will probably need to open the Settings for some of the attributes and change their templates.
3. Once the data is imported, display it in a window.

Importing a file without Headers
If you have a data file without headers, you must assign the attributes yourself. A file without headers
might look like:
1. Begin the same way as earlier. Right‐click on the folder where the data will be stored and choose
Import (on selection) …
a. Navigate to the folder where the data is stored, click on the file (it appears in the File name: box
and click Open.
9
b. The Import Petrel points with attributes window appears. The top of the window contains some
attributes but they probably don’t match the data that appears at the bottom of the window. The
attributes at the top:
c. The data at the bottom:
10
d. Manually, make the attributes match the data by adding attributes using the Append a column in
e. When the attributes match, click on the OK or OK for all button.
f. Another window appears allowing you to set the template and CRS of the dataset. Click OK or OK
for all.
g. The data is imported into the Input pane.

2. Once again, you will probably need to open the Settings for some of the attributes and change their
templates.
3. Once the data is imported, display it in a window.

2. Choose a Continuous attribute:
3. Go to the Operations tab and choose Values from property Assign values from a property
4. Find the property you want to use from the 3D Grid:

5. Highlight the property and use the blue arrow to enter it into the property location.
6. Click Run
7. The new attribute is created under the Pointset.
8. Repeat for the other attributes, selecting the corresponding properties:
9. Use the data to build the pie charts.

Using Well Tops or Points
When using Well Tops, you must have already defined Zone attributes or structural attributes other than
the “Z” attribute (often Depth).
Open a map window and display a Points object that contains values. Open the Settings for the Points and
make sure the Pie chart radio button on the Style tab is checked.
If so, and you have the correct data, pie charts will appear.

Open the Spreadsheet to see all the values.
