Extending the lives of mature fields requires oil and gas companies to target reserves that are often difficult to detect,and even more difficult to exploit.New directional,deep-reading,logging-while-drilling measurements help geoscientists locate resistive bed boundaries and fluid contacts in real time.Using this information to optimize wellbore placement,operators are realizing payoffs through increased production,fewer sidetracks and reduced exposure to wellbore stability problems.
