eDrilling adds Geostreering to wellSIM

STAVANGER, Norway -- eDrilling announced that Geosteering capabilities have been added to their wellSIM.

Responding to a need from energy companies globally with a significant number of extended reach wells, and long horizontal sections, demanding high precision geosteering in the reservoirs, eDrilling has developed a module to its wellSIM product, allowing for reservoir geosteering based on MWD logs, biostrat, pressure points and drilling parameters.

Rolv Rommetveit, eDrilling CTO, stated, “Now you can do upfront geosteering training in a simulator before the geoscience staff are faced with real-time decision making while drilling expensive long horizontals reservoir sections.”

wellSIM is a dynamic downhole simulator, allowing for integration of client specific well data in early well planning, giving training a new meaning. wellSIM is an integral part of the eDrilling Life Cycle Drilling Simulation concept - advanced dynamic drilling models and diagnosis technology merged with 3D visualization into a “virtual wellbore”. The simulator is aimed at challenging drilling and well operations, including High Pressure - High Temperature wells, Through Tubing Rotary Drilling, Extended Reach Drilling, Managed Pressure Drilling and Dual Gradient Drilling.
