Program Overview
This 5-day geosteering course delves into the intricacies of bottom hole assemblies, downhole surveys, and tool responses. Led by industry expert Jeff Webber, it empowers participants with the skills to accurately interpret data and optimize horizontal well drilling operations. The course combines theoretical concepts with case studies, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of geosteering principles and their practical applications.
Program Outline
Outline:
- Sag Correction and Interpolated In Field Referencing (IIFR): This module covers sag correction and IIFR techniques, which are used to improve the accuracy of downhole surveys.
- Modeling of offset resistivity logs: This module introduces the concept of modeling offset resistivity logs, which helps in understanding the reservoir's characteristics.
- Flat modeling and horizontal profile: This module covers flat modeling and horizontal profile techniques, which are used to visualize the well's trajectory and reservoir characteristics.
- Ensuring clarity around decision making and authority when steering: This module highlights the importance of clear communication and decision-making processes during geosteering operations.
- Pre-drill target creation: This module explains the process of creating pre-drill targets, which are essential for planning the well's trajectory.
- Subsequent modification during drilling: This module covers how to modify pre-drill targets during drilling operations based on real-time data.
- Strategies around casing point: This module explores strategies for selecting the casing point, which is a critical decision in horizontal well drilling.
- Further case studies demonstrating the complexities of geosteering: This module provides additional case studies to illustrate the complexities of geosteering operations.
- Course Structure:
- The course is a 5-day program.
- The first two days focus on reviewing BHA components, directional drilling, surveys, and other necessary background knowledge.
