Recent advances in cased-hole logging, sidetracking mills and CO_2 pumping

摘要

Technology advances are occurring across the spectrum of E&P operations. Some are revolutionary, while others are incremental-but all are providing producers with improved efficiency and/or costs. This article highlights three such advances: 1) through-casing resistivity logging using Schlumberger's CHFR tool; 2) one-trip milling and lateral drilling using PDC Bimills; and 3) adaption of the RedaHPS~* horizontal pumping systems from Schlumberger for CO_2 pumping. And recent recipients of PTTC's technology transfer awards are noted.
