Course Introduction

This course will introduce a solid and in-depth understanding of different MWD-LWD technology and their main applications on the geosteering process using the advanced real-time drilling applications. Attendees will approach the different LWD tools and their usage on geosteering techniques i.e. model based, start-based, seismic image, borehole images and the most advanced remote boundary detection tools.

 

During this training you will be professionally learn how to obtain MWW-LWD integrated log data and their applications, and hence perform a successful geosteering job, drill your well safely and hence get the maximum reservoir exposure. All will be done through professional guided practical simulation models and real case studies.


Course objective

  •  To get familiar of MWW-LWD tools physics, operation an applications.
  •  To learn MWD-LWD Principles- data transmission.
  •  To Integrated LWD log data for optimum reservoir characterization.
  •  To understand what is geosteering and why we do directional drilling.
  •  To be familiar of Prejob, Real-time and Post job procedures.
  •  To know the proper way of placing a well and maintain maximum reservoir coverage.
  •  To understand the difference of conventional and unconventional geosteering.
  •  To know the methodology of successful geosteering job.
  •  To practice and apply different case studies and different reservoir challenges
