Challenge: Place extended-reach well in thin 2-m target
zone with structural uncertainties without exceeding drilling torque limit
Solution: Land well using PeriScope bed boundary mapper
and real-time images from EcoScope multifunction logging-while-drilling
service. Guide lateral drain placement with adnVISION azimuthal density neutron
and PeriScope services
RESULT
- Achieved 100% net to gross
- Accomplished initial oil production rate of 2,000 bbl/d with 0% water
cut
- Drilled a 340-m landing section on a smooth trajectory that minimized
accumulation of high drilling torque
- Placed 415-m lateral drain within 0.5 m of top of pay zone without
exiting the reservoir and avoided making unnecessary adjustments, keeping the
well within the drilling torque limit
