Simple use of a local Cegal Hub with headless Petrel in the background

Ensure the Cegal Hub Petrel plugin is installed.

Launch Cegal Hub in local mode from the terminal (Windows Terminal is recommended). Local mode runs both a Cegal Hub Server and Cegal Hub Agent together.

Import from Cegal Hub

from cegalprizm.hub import Hub

Create a new Hub object

hub = Hub()

Get a default hub Agent context. As a hub Agent is running locally this will be a strong handle to your local running Agent.

agent_ctx = hub.default_agent_ctx()

Use the agent to programmatically launch petrel in the background.

petrel_ctx = agent_ctx.new_petrel_instance()

Once Petrel has started up in the background, use the petrel context to load a project

petrel_ctx.load_project(path="C:\data\GroningenHub2\GroningenHub2.pet")

Perform some operations on the project

petrel_ctx.project_info()

Close the project

petrel_ctx.close_project()

Kill the instance of Petrel running in the background

petrel_ctx.poison_petrel()
