Challenge: Place a 2,007-ft [612-m] drain
section in a reservoir sand with high structural dip and lateral
variations.
Solution: Use a mud-motor BHA incorporating
PeriScope HD multilayer bed boundary detection service to remain in the
high-resistivity zone and avoid exiting the reservoir.
Results:
- Drilled the 2,007-ft lateral section in a single run and kept the
dogleg severity below 3°/100 ft [3°/30 m], facilitating
completion
- Achieved a 97% net-to-gross ratio according to the defined
cutoff
- Quantified the lateral dip using high-resolution dip
measurement
