  How does a MWD system improving drilling efficiencies and formation understanding? Baker Hughes: First of all, let’s go back to industry adopted classification of telemetry systems – MWD (measuring while drilling) and LWD (logging while drilling) systems: MWD systems provide directional survey data (well path), bottom hole temperature, pressure, …

High-resolution 3D capabilities enrich field development strategies Baker Hughes has announced the availability of its JewelSuite™ 3D geomechanics software system, designed to promote better complex field development strategies by enabling users to quickly and accurately predict full-field geomechanical behavior under drilling, stimulation and production scenarios. These strategies are essential in …

Accurate formation data helps optimize life cycle management Baker Hughes announced today the availability of its SOr™ (saturation oil remaining) sponge liner coring system, which provides an accurate analysis and measurement of fluid types and oil saturation levels in cores. This information helps operators optimize their asset life cycle and …

Why is an effective wellbore cleanout program essential when looking at the production and run life of a well? Schlumberger: Movement of sand and accumulation of debris can have a considerable impact on fluid flow. On the surface, a river can deposit so much silt that it blocks its own …
