ABSTRACT

In recent years, rapid growth in Previous HithorizontalNext Hit-well completions has been driven by the need to reduce field-development costs. Logging-while-drilling (LWD) technology and geosteering techniques have advanced to ensure high rates of success in reaching reservoir targets that are smaller and less clearly defined than those attempted previously. Three recent examples illustrate the benefits of these techniques where LWD data are acquired at the rig site, transmitted real time to the operator's office, and interpreted by a multidisciplinary asset team that updates formation Previous HitmodelsTop to enable optimal geosteering decisions.
