During drilling, LWD tools, which feature sensors to record data about rock formation, are used. To maximise reservoir value when drilling, LWD will provide superior formation evaluation data.
Directional drilling, formation assessment, and geosteering applications are all addressed by LWD sensors, which provide wireline quality petrophysical data. LWD sensors to assist in guiding high-angle and horizontal drilling, to ensure effective use of pricey rig time, and to obtain data instantly.
The Global LWD sensors market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Halliburton’s cutting-edge LWD sensor technologies provide accurate formation evaluation data in real-time. It offers unique reservoir information for a variety of applications. Geosteering, petrophysical analysis, geomechanical analysis, and reservoir fluid characterization are among the services offered to operators to help them better understand reservoirs and shorten operation durations to boost the value of the assets.
The study was submitted by National Oilwell Varco (NOV). 2.40 billion USD total revenue was reported by the company. By employing drilling (MWD) and logging while drilling services, the company continues to increase the scope of its measurements on a global scale. The Tolteq iSeries MWD tools and vector were purchased by NOV under a contract from a contractor in Northwest Africa.
Two significant Russian operators awarded Weatherford two drilling service contracts totaling USD 67.4 million. At several oilfields in Western Siberia, the company will offer services like drilling, rotary steerable systems, logging while drilling, measurement while drilling, and geo-data interpretation.
A New Ultra-Deep Azimuthal Electromagnetic LWD Sensor for Reservoir Insight When a reservoir is being developed, it might be difficult to locate the wells in the proper formations using pre-well modeling methods. The accuracy needed for geosteering decisions is not provided by the existing well-planning techniques, such as offset well logs or surface seismic data.
On the other hand, standard logging-while-drilling (LWD) equipment have a small detection depth into the formation but may determine very detailed formation parameters. Because of this restricted range, it can be tricky to compare LWD readings to more extensive seismic data, which makes it difficult to place wells accurately.
The scale difference between seismic data and traditional logging data is effectively closed by ultra-deep azimuthal electromagnetic LWD logging instruments, allowing for greater correlation and, ultimately, more precise well placement. There is a new multi-antenna azimuthal electromagnetic LWD equipment that propagates electromagnetic fields in three dimensions around the wellbore with an incredibly deep depth of research possible (DOI).
From measurements caused by the propagated fields, a reliable inversion method determines the position and resistivity of formation layers within the tool’s range. With a better understanding of the local geology thanks to this information, geologists can make timely geosteering decisions, put wells in the best locations, and develop fields more effectively.
Depending on the chosen operating frequency, antenna spacing, and formation features, theoretical modeling and field-testing findings show that the novel tool is capable of resolving numerous formation layers, with a DOI of more than 200 ft (60 m). A very large volume of investigation can be represented by complicated geological formations using single-point, unconstrained inversion results produced by the tool design’s extremely high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Azimuthal resistivity measurements and ultra-deep azimuthal gps signals are also provided by the equipment, which offers 360° information surrounding the borehole.
Operators are now able to assess very large volumes of the reservoir structure from a single well thanks to the ultra-deep DOI’s capacity to identify hydrocarbon reserves and formation boundaries far farther from the wellbore than was previously achievable.
