The requirement for precise and trustworthy data to serve numerous drilling and evaluation applications grows as a result of the constant pressure to save costs in today’s difficult drilling settings.
Obtaining accurate acoustic data for the entire well is crucial, whether the goal is to ensure optimised drilling through real-time monitoring of pore pressure and wellbore stability, to optimise well placement through the creation of synthetic seismograms to link back to surface seismic data, or to obtain porosity measurements without the risks associated with nuclear sources.
Several facets of acoustic azimuthal imaging are investigated using three-dimensional modelling, including the useful azimuthal resolution for compressional and shear velocities.
LWD technology is mostly the focus. Since real-time applications of azimuthal sonic data are of great relevance, LWD technology is primarily the focus.
The design of the tool is taken into consideration, reviewing well-known issues like transmitter-to-receiver separation as well as more cutting-edge ideas like the viability of acoustic image and anisotropy assessments in off-centered scenarios.
The Global Azimuthal Sonic LWD imaging market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Wide-ranging applications are addressed by the XBAT Plus azimuthal sonic and ultrasonic service, enabling a better understanding of the drilling environment and reservoir characteristics.
An azimuthal 4-pinger ultrasonic calliper is a feature of the XBAT Plus service that offers a real-time evaluation of borehole quality and form.
This enables prompt modification of drilling fluid characteristics to preserve wellbore stability. Azimuthal images can be used for geosteering applications as well as other formation evaluation applications like source-less porosity, gas detection, and input into rock mechanical properties across a wide range of formation types and borehole sizes with multiple firing modes and an azimuthal receiver array.
