SURFACE MEASUREMENT WHILE DRILLING™ Hybrid Mud Logging Surface Measurement While Drilling (SMWD) 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. CURRENT SOLUTIONS ▪ 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 Hybrid Mud Logging ▪ Mud Logging – qualitative data only but economical ACCEPTING THE STATUS QUO? Delivers The current solutions are either inadequate for in- ▪ Quantitative elemental XRF data – depth, field-wide analysis or are far too expensive in consistent and comparable data from well today’s cost-challenged environment to be used to well extensively. But is accepting the status quo the only ▪ Reliably modelled lithology as standard – no answer? more subjective %’s and descriptions ▪ Digital images of rock samples – images THE DIVERSIFIED SOLUTION taken pre-analysis ▪ Hybrid Mud Logging ▪ Up to fifty samples caught and analyzed ▪ A Surface Measurement While Drilling service with XRF per day ▪ A true step change in sample processing ▪ ▪ Quantitative rock data for every sample Realtime total gas and chromatograph data ▪ Quantitative data for every well as standard ▪ Quantitative data for the very best price ▪ Digital twice daily reports and logs ▪ Realtime geological certainty ▪ Reduction in personnel onsite (compared to ▪ The end of unconventional challenges full onsite XRF/Mudlogging) ▪ No more accepting the status quo ▪ Reduction in HSE risk 711 West 10th Street, Reserve, Louisiana 70084 |1-800-280-2096 | [email protected].
