... Abstract Geosteering solves for a drill bit's stratigraphic location to optimally guide a wellbore through a target formation. Geosteering solutions focus on correlating a subject well's real-time measurements to a type log representative of the stratigraphic column. Traditionally, this is done...

... Previously this algorithm was shown to produce reasonable interpretations on wells that had already been drilled ( Maus, et. al. 2020 ) but had not been used in a real-time setting as part of a drilling workflow. For a geosteering professional, having multiple interpretations ready for review...

... Abstract At the well-planning stage target selection usually accounts for drillability. However, during geosteering operations the drilling constraints are not updated and some fixed limits in terms of maximal inclination, dogleg severity, etc., are used instead. We demonstrate a methodology...

...Prior experience Both of the interviewed participants have over 10 years of geosteering experience. They both agreed that decision making process is an important part of any geosteering operations. HP-02 says that a suitable prior analysis is required for such a decision process. HP-01...

... Abstract Geosteering presently requires physical or virtual interaction between the geologist and the directional driller to arrive at steering decisions. This interaction often results in the loss of valuable information because all context and data may not be shared between them. A framework...

... Abstract Proactive geosteering is the fastest-growing form of geosteering. It enables reservoir exits to be anticipated before they occur and well paths to be altered to navigate within the best portion of the reservoir. This paper demonstrates that proactive geosteering when utilizing...
