CASE HISTORIES OF COMPUTER MODELLING WITH A 2 MHZ DUAL RESISTIVITY MWD TOOL IN HORIZONTAL DRILLING

Abstract

A technique has been developed to detect bed boundaries using a combination of computer modelling and real-time data from a 2 MHz dual resistivity MWD tool. This technique has proven effective in horizontal drilling projects in North America and Europe. Models of the response of a 2 MHz dual resistivity tool in high angle penetrations of various Australian reservoirs show the potential for application of this technique in Australian horizontal drilling projects.
