Well Radar

Detect existing wells and determine relative distance and orientation while drilling a new well

Supported by industry-first capabilities, Well Radar™ ranging and interception services ensures precise well placement for maximized recovery across a spectrum of critical applications. These services leverage advanced technologies and extensive expertise in drilling, surveying, formation evaluation, geosteering, and reservoir mapping to meet the needs of the most demanding projects. This service is a key enabler for both traditional and emerging energy projects, including brownfield redevelopment, P&A, geothermal wells, and CCS. 

Well Radar services surpass traditional ranging methods by integrating four sophisticated technologies into a single solution: passive magnetic ranging (PMR), active magnetic ranging (AMR), active resistivity ranging (ARR), and active acoustic ranging (AAR). When combined with industry-leading rotary steerable systems and precise dynamic surveys, it provides real-time multiphysics data, enabling superior trajectory control and highly accurate, high-density ranging information.
