A common understanding across disciplines can be achieved by sharing realtime LWD data using the familiar environment of a geological framework surrounding the well bore - a three-dimensional earth model. Today's logging-while-drilling (LWD) measurements permit a greater level of real-time insight into the downhole environment. However, for these data to achieve their maximum value, one must be able to make accurate, realtime decisions based on the measurements. This is especially true in regard to directional drilling and reservoir navigation. Sharing these data between disciplines is a hurdle in this decision-making process.
