THE TWIN CHALLENGES of finding and producing hydrocarbons from increasingly complex reservoirs while meeting tighter fiscal constraints drive the need for well path and engineering design optimization. Just as designing wells within a 3D geological model or seismic volume can shorten well-planning cycle times, improve well placement and reduce drilling risk, the ability to make real-time updates to those 3D models, based on petrophysical log responses, enables rapid and informed replanning and engineering while drilling.
