Paper presented at the SPE/IADC International Drilling Conference and Exhibition, March 4–6, 2025
Paper Number: SPE-223822-MS
... of geosteering technology. This algorithm identifies the formation near the drill bit using azimuth LWD data (e.g., gamma), by comparing the upper and lower logging data to control the wellbore trajectory. When the trajectory deviates from the target reservoir, the system automatically control the drill bit...
