Workshop description:
Increasingly difficult drilling conditions, a necessity for development of deposits in reservoirs with hard to recover reserves require a rapid information on a wide range geological section parameters. A regular wellbore position on the whole way toward a reservoir and therein improves the well design efficiency, reduces risks during drilling, improves the contact with the reservoir, maximizes the reservoir headway quality, improves well performance data and hydrocarbon recovering.
For a ling time past the modern methods of well placement and geosteering using geologic-geophysical methods have been actively implemented in the O&G practice. At the same time experience in a real-time correction of an a priori model during drilling, as well as on the control of test results, production stimulation and remote deposit development was accumulated. Whereby a prompt information acquisition and integration to provide timely decisions is emphasized.
The modern industry has been creating and actively implementing the most advanced technologies of information acquisition and interpretation and informational support, among which the geologic-geophysical methods are of paramount importance. The time is right, when it is possible to begin to asses the efficiency of the used technologies in different conditions. The strategy of application of single technologies or integrated solution may be adjusted based on such assessments.
The objective of the workshop is to bring together specialists from Research Organizations and Oil and Gas Service Companies with a purpose of discussing by way of actual examples the existing technologies for data acquisition, processing and interpretation, as well as of the information support of the entire process of well placement, Geosteering and reservoir management, using geoscience methods, and the state and outlining future trends of research within the workshop area.
