Drilling practices alone are not enough to accurately deliver a high quality wellbore, as success is equally dependent on the accuracy of the wellbore survey. H&P’s Survey Management delivers advanced, real-time MWD survey corrections to enable more precise well spacing, enhanced well placement and more complete knowledge of offset wellbore locations. These outcomes include landing a curve, properly spacing laterals, safely performing collision avoidance operations, and updating well plans and geological models to accurately reflect data that was measured while drilling.
Accurate, Consistent, and Reliable Wellbore Surveys
Troubleshooting the Tool
Understanding the MWD tool is key. Lack of training on detecting tool failures can and will lead to operational challenges. Let survey management help with that.
Wellbore Impact Awareness
Mistakes in surveys can have a costly impact on the wellbore. Survey management can provide early detection of these errors, which can save the operator both time and money.
Embracing Uncertainties
Survey uncertainty is a reality. Acknowledging and navigating these uncertainties is vital for decision-making in the field. This has crucial implications for anti-collision and hard lines for leases.
Six-axis Data Importance
The backbone of a survey lies in its data. Understanding the significance of six-axis, or raw data, is crucial to the survey reliability.
Your wellbore is only as good as your surveys.
Reducing survey uncertainty can: ·
- Expand the safe operating envelope available to a driller when performing collision avoidance operations
- Drive more precise spacing of laterals.
- Enable more accurate total vertical depth (TVD) estimation both when landing the curve and drilling the lateral
