StethoScope Formation Pressure While Drilling
Reduce formation pressure uncertainty
StethoScope service minimizes risk and reduces cost with real-time calibration points for pore pressure models. This enables mud weight optimization so that drilling can continue confidently at ideal penetration rates.
Our measurements also improve casing point selection by offering a better understanding of the formation pressure around the planned casing point, reducing risk.
Real-time measurements for geosteering and geostopping
Real-time formation pressure measurements eliminate time wasted drilling pressure-depleted formations and preserve virgin pressure zones scheduled for sidetrack development or completion. Pressure and mobility data help in targeting the most productive zones and determine the optimal drain length for horizontal wells. In faulted formations, rapid pressure analysis enhances effective geosteering between compartments.
Accurate data for improved formation evaluation
In virgin reservoirs, pressure profiles can be combined with other LWD logs to develop a static reservoir model, and in developed reservoirs, they help to understand fluid movement.
Use these pressure profiles—defining gradients and contact points combined with production history and the static reservoir model—to model the dynamic reservoir pressure for optimizing recovery. The model enables an increased understanding of a field's production systems, leading to better completions.
