Abstract: DREAM™-Drilling and Real-Time Migration: A New Method for the Geophysical Monitoring of Wells

By

Debra Dishberger and Geoff Mills
Western Geophysical

Well locations are usually based on the interpretation of seismic sections. During drilling there is little opportunity to update the geophysical information on which the location of the well was based. The "migration while drilling continuously" (MWDC) method is a new approach that uses data obtained while drilling to update the geophysical model of the area surrounding the well. AGIP and Western Atlas are developing a software package (DREAM™) that combines the MWDC principles with software from Western Atlas.
