Acquire real-time information
An oil company drilling an exploration well in the Norwegian sector of
the North Sea wanted to acquire real-time information to guide drilling
decisions and evaluate the well. Because downhole temperatures were expected to
exceed 175 degC [350 degF], drilling the well presented a major challenge.
Make decisions with confidence
The EcoScope HT multifunction LWD service and StethoScope HT formation
pressure-while-drilling service the company selected to provide the information
proved to be up to the challenge, even though the reservoir temperature
exceeded 175 degC [350 degF]. This success was achieved by strictly following
the Schlumberger HT Drilling Operations Procedures to keep the drilling
temperature, which reached 155 degC [311 degF], as low as possible.
