# Cegal Prizm – Python Tool Pro

Get even more value from your legacy data.

## Enabling data science with Petrel

Python Tool Pro connects the world of Petrel* with the world of Python, enabling geoscientists to run advanced Python workflows directly on their Petrel data.

The solution lets you apply your own creativity, whether you are developing machine learning models, automating repetitive tasks, or building data‑driven interpretation workflows, while staying fully embedded in the Petrel E&P software environment.

### **Bring Python workflows directly into Petrel**

 Python Tool Pro allows geoscientists to run complex data science and machine learning workflows against Petrel domain data. A rich set of tools supports visualization, data manipulation, and controlled distribution of Python code across teams.

 

You can:

- Access and update Petrel domain objects directly from Python scripts
- Use Python libraries for visualization to contextualize geoscience workflows
- Build Python applications with graphical user interfaces (GUI) for easy reuse and sharing

 This makes it possible to move seamlessly between interpretation and data science without duplicating data or breaking workflows.

 

### **Part of the Cegal Prizm data science solution**

 Python Tool Pro is a modular component of Cegal Prizm, Cegal’s data science solution for subsurface workflows. When used together with other Cegal Prizm modules, Python Tool Pro helps you refract subsurface data, generate insight, and create value across interpretation, analysis, and decision‑making workflows.

### **Flexible deployment and scalable access**

 Python Tool Pro connects directly to Petrel from any external Python installation. Using Cegal Hub, you can:

- Run Python Tool Pro in cross‑network deployments
- Execute workflows from cloud environments such as Google Colab
- Programmatically access multiple Petrel projects to enhance and scale your workflows

 This flexibility supports both individual experimentation and team‑based, production‑ready workflows.
