| Abstract |
Reservoir complexity drives the need for wellpath and engineering design optimization across all well planning and drilling workflows. Just as designing wells within a 3D geological model can shorten planning cycle times, improve well placement and reduce drilling risk, the ability to make real-time updates to those 3D models, based on LWD responses, enables rapid re-planning and reengineering while drilling. Such an approach can optimize wellbore placement and maximize production. This article will share a powerful and flexible planning, engineering and geosteering solution that allow companies to take control of the well design and drilling process. |
