Introduction
Training course introducion / brief

This course will introduce a solid and in-depth understanding of different MWD-LWD technology and their main applications on the geosteering process using the advanced real-time drilling applications. Attendees will approach the different LWD tools and their usage on geosteering techniques i.e. model based, start-based, seismic image, borehole images and the most advanced remote boundary detection tools.

During this training you will be professionally learn how to obtain MWW-LWD integrated log data and their applications, and hence perform a successful geosteering job, drill your well safely and hence get the maximum reservoir exposure. All will be done through professional guided practical simulation models and real case studies.

Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to

  •  To get familiar of MWW-LWD tools physics, operation an applications.
  •  To learn MWD-LWD Principles- data transmission.
  •  To Integrated LWD log data for optimum reservoir characterization.
  •  To understand what is geosteering and why we do directional drilling.
  •  To be familiar of Prejob, Real-time and Post job procedures.
  •  To know the proper way of placing a well and maintain maximum reservoir coverage.
  •  To understand the difference of conventional and unconventional geosteering.
  •  To know the methodology of successful geosteering job.
  •  To practice and apply different case studies and different reservoir challenges
