Unconventional Challenges...
- Variable ROP in the ‘same’ formation
- Variable hole stability in the ‘same’ formation
- Uncertainty of being in the correct target zone
- Variable stimulation performance between wells
- Variable production between wells
- Well spacing and ‘Parent/Child’ well interference
Overcoming the Challenges
For all of these challenges there is one overriding solution; the acquisition of more geological data to better understand what is happening. Data for geologic and A.I. modelling, well correlation, trend observation, and well planning.
...and Current Industry Standards
- Seismic – poor resolution for geosteering
- MWD – limited geologic value through GR
- LWD – expensive with risk of tool loss
- Wireline – costly with limited use in horizontals
- Coring – excellent data but costly and slow
- Mud Logging – qualitative data only but economical
Must we accept the status quo?
The current solutions are either inadequate for in-depth, field-wide analysis or are far too expensive in today’s cost-challenged environment to be used extensively. But is accepting the status quo the only answer?
