Reservoir visualization

PeriScope bed boundary mapper is revolutionizing well placement by providing the ability to see the reservoir as wells are being drilled, thereby eliminating sidetracks on wells and enhancing production. With the industry's first deep and directional electromagnetic LWD measurement, you can continuously monitor the position of formation and fluid boundaries up to 21 ft away so you can drill challenging horizontal wells entirely within the "sweet spot.”

Directional and deep well placement

The PeriScope service indicates the best steering direction, and the deep measurement range gives you early warning when steering adjustments are required to avoid water, drilling hazards, or exiting the reservoir target.

Because this technology continuously delivers deep images of boundaries around the borehole, uncertainties in structure and formation properties are significantly reduced when compared with traditional well logs in very large volumes of the reservoir. This results in more accurate reservoir models, superior reserves estimation, and improved planning of future wells. Previously uneconomic wells are now a reality.
