摘要

drilling method for a position relative to a geological boundary in a geological formation; drilling system for a position relative to a geological boundary in a geological formation; software; and perforator a system 30 for drilling to a relative position for a geological boundary in a geological formation includes a sensor pack 26 for detecting parameters associated with a drilling operation performed in the geological formation by a perforator 10. a data storage module 34 stores a geological model of geological formation and data related to the detected parameters; the geological model including data related to the geological boundary. a processor module 32 is configured to monitor the drilling operation using data related to the detected parameters and to allocate the position of a drill bit 10 in the geological formation and its corresponding position within the geological model. processor module 32 is further configured to generate an endpoint at a defined position relative to the geological boundary. a punch controller 24 in communication with processor module 32, the punch controller 24 being configured to control the operation of punch 10 and to cause punch 10 to stop punching when the end point has been reached.
