PeriScope Electromagnetic LWD

Overview Library

Well Placement Distance to Boundary Measurements

PeriScope bed boundary mapper is revolutionizing well placement by providing the ability to see the reservoir as wells are being drilled, thereby eliminating sidetracks on wells and enhancing production. With the industry's first deep and directional electromagnetic LWD measurement, you can continuously monitor the position of formation and fluid boundaries up to 21 ft away so you can drill challenging horizontal wells entirely within the sweet spot.

Drilling environments

Since its launch in 2005, the PeriScope service has been extensively used around the world in environments such as heavy oil, coalbed methane, and tight gas, including horizontal shale gas drilling in the US.

Permian Basin As advertised in Hart's E&P, the PeriScope bed boundary mapper has optimized well placement in the Permian Basin when used with PowerDrive RSS. For more of the story, read the industry article and case study.

Directional and deep well placement

The PeriScope service indicates the best steering direction, and the deep measurement range gives you early warning when steering adjustments are required to avoid water, drilling hazards, or exiting the reservoir target.

Because this technology continuously delivers deep images of boundaries around the borehole, uncertainties in structure and formation properties are significantly reduced when compared with traditional well logs in very large volumes of the reservoir. This results in more accurate reservoir models, superior reserves estimation, and improved planning of future wells. Producing previously uneconomic wells is now a reality.
