背景
An operator drilling in Southeast Asia required real-time imaging of cemented stringers in an overlying formation to prevent a false landing. Critical objectives included achieving a smoother hole, increasing ROP, and reaching the required dogleg severity. With no offset wells for reference, the operator precisely mapped the formation and adjusted the well trajectory to land 1.5-m TVD above the top of the target reservoir, eliminating the need for a pilot hole.
