Details
Challenge:
- Identify top of reservoir to optimize entry point into the target
reservoir section.
- Determine fluid contact levels in reservoir before entry and during
steering of well.
Solution: Reduce geological uncertainties and
mitigate risks during landing operations with a depth of investigation greater
than 100 ft [30 m] from the GeoSphere reservoir mapping-while-drilling
service.
Results:
- Mapped top of reservoir at 20-ft [6-m] TVD from wellpath and
oil/water contact (OWC) 43-ft [13-m] TVD below the reservoir’s top.
- Landed and kept well at an optimized standoff and angle.
- Integrated reservoir mapping data into 3D static geological model for
future field development plans.
