Well Radar
Ranging and interception services
Overview
Well Radar™ ranging and interception services combine the technologies and expertise of multiple domains, including drilling, surveying, formation evaluation, geosteering, and reservoir mapping. These services can be tailored to meet the individual needs of your most demanding projects. In addition to traditional applications such as coalbed methane, brownfield development, plug and abandonment campaigns, or steam-assisted gravity drainage, these services plays a key role in the new energy space, such as geothermal and carbon capture and storage.
Industry-first passive magnetic ranging (PMR) while drilling
- Detects distances to cased and open hole, and multiple boreholes nearby
- Captures mapping and resistivity measurements with a novel ranging workflow
Unlocks inaccessible reserves with autonomous directional drilling
- Increases efficiency, data density, and ranging confidence
- Geosteering and reservoir mapping with ultradeep azimuthal resistivity measurements
Supports remote operations for reduced HSE exposure, costs, and emissions
- Enables drilling in a wide variety of formations, including salt
- Reduces risk of stuck pipe, HSE exposure, costs, and emissions
Well Radar services delivers real-time ranging with precision
Ranging is the process of positioning a wellbore relative to a target well. Conventional MWD or gyroscopic techniques are insufficient due to inherent technological uncertainties.
Our Well Radar services implement the most advanced and reliable rotary steerable technologies, enable high-performance drilling. Additionally, the services provide definitive dynamic surveys that deliver the industry’s first PMR-while-drilling for high efficiency, as well as the industry’s first AMR 3D reservoir mapping-while-drilling service, superior data density, and ranging confidence.
