Abstract: Geosteering

By

Horizontal well technology has evolved rapidly. Our most difficult concerns have changed from Previous HitboreholeTop stability and drilling techniques to completion, stimulation, and formation evaluation. Tomorrow's challenge lies in precisely steering the well path using formation geological and geophysical information. This technique is called "geosteering" and is credited with major improvements in drilling results. This presentation will review the state-of-the-art in geosteering and includes field examples.
