Skolkovo Software Package Helped Geosteerers With Drilling Support
Modeling experience was gained at new fields with new geological conditions. The geological support group of TNG-Geonavigatsia LLC (a subsidiary of the geophysical TNG-Group) has mastered a new software package for geomodeling and well drilling support. This is stated in the newspaper “Geophysicist of Tataria” (author – Dmitry SYROKVASHIN, chief …
Rosneft Improves the Efficiency of the Geosteering Process
Specialists from the Institute of Geology and Exploration of Combustible Fossils (part of the research and development complex of Rosneft) have developed a method for automated processing of data obtained during drilling. The new approach allows several times to reduce labor costs for routine operations without compromising the quality of …
Past and the Future of Geosteering
Conventional geosteering becomes more complex, faster and requires more data in real-time. This puts an incredible amount of pressure on geosteerers as their decisions need to be taken in a shorter amount of time, need to be more precise and require from him/her analysis of a larger amount of data. …
Well Navigation Process: Application of Traffic Light Communication System and Target Changing Methods in Geosteering
For Part One of this article click HEREFor Part Two of this article click HERE Geosteerer – Directional Driller Duo For all geosteering approaches, what is precisely known is limited and sporadically located along the wellbore trajectory. When geosteering is required, there is no substitute for geologic and engineering knowledge …
Halliburton Releases Oil & Gas Industry’s First 3D Logging-While-Drilling Technology
New visualization enables precise geosteering and accurate well placement Halliburton Company today introduced 3D reservoir mapping, a new logging-while-drilling (LWD) capability that provides a detailed representation of subsurface structures to improve well placement in complex reservoirs. 3D inversion, an advanced reservoir mapping process, reveals overlooked features such as faults, water …
Why Collaboration has a Higher Impact on Business Performance than Technology
For Part One of this article click HERE Why Collaboration Geosteering requires sophisticated technologies, access to relevant data (streamed real time data and model derived data) and most importantly, collaboration of geosteering team members. Whilst the first two components of geosteering have broadly been described, analysed in depth and their …
Introducing Geosteer Well On Paper™ A New Important Step in the Well Delivery Process
How the Planning Phase can Foreshadow Geosteering Failure The success of any geosteering process is determined at the planning stage. This article will present the most crucial aspects of well planning which directly impact the effectiveness and efficiency of the geosteering process while drilling. These critical matters, often overlooked or …
