Course Introduction
This course will introduce a solid and in-depth understanding of different MWD-LWD technologies 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 with MWW-LWD tools, physics, operation, and applications.
- To learn MWD-LWD Principles- data transmission.
- To integrate LWD log data for optimum reservoir characterization.
- To understand what geosteering is and why we do directional drilling.
- To be familiar with pre-job, Real-time, and post-job procedures.
- To know the proper way of placing a well and maintain maximum reservoir coverage.
- To understand the difference between conventional and unconventional geosteering.
- To know the methodology of a successful geosteering job.
- To practice and apply different case studies and different reservoir challenges
