Refining Geology With the Bit:An Innovative Approach to Well Design and Geosteering

摘要

Maximizing bitumen recovery from thermal horizontal wells requires optimal placement of the wellbore close to the bottom of the reservoir.Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.is collaborating with Halliburton to utilize logging while drilling (LWD)techniques to achieve optimal well placement in relatively thin heterogeneous reservoirs of the Clearwater Formation in its commercial cyclic steam stimulation operations in east central Alberta,Canada.
