Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Horizontal Drilling Geosteering & Reporting. It covers the fundamentals of horizontal drilling, directional drilling concepts and geosteering; the lithological and stratigraphic interpretation, real-time data acquisition systems and software tools for geosteering; the pre-drill modeling and planning and LWD logs for geosteering; the structural interpretation while drilling, geo-targeting and wellbore placement; communicating with rig and operations team; the geological uncertainty, geosteering in unconventional reservoirs and navigating faults, folds and complex stratigraphy; and the multi-well pad and geo-spacing strategies, performance optimization and ethical and regulatory aspects.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the daily geosteering report preparation, final well report and end-of-well summary and visualization and mapping for reporting; the data archiving, version control and collaborative workflows; the software-specific reporting tools for exporting maps, logs and plots; planning documentation, execution and real-time updates and review; troubleshooting common geosteering issues; and the emerging technologies and innovations comprising of AI and machine learning in geosteering, automated boundary detection, real-time 3D geosteering and future of remote geosteering operations.
