Schlumberger has launched the GeoSphere 360 3D reservoir mapping-while-drilling service, which leverages superior cloud and digital options to ship real-time 3D profiling of reservoir objects
“GeoSphere 360 service is the head of reservoir mapping whereas drilling and the primary in a sequence of digitally enabled applied sciences and providers that we’ll convey to market this yr. Not like typical applied sciences, 3D reservoir mapping whereas drilling identifies fluid our bodies and faults – at a volumetric reservoir scale – which is exclusive within the trade,” mentioned Jesus Lamas, president, effectively building.
“This can be a transformative digital functionality that drives improved reservoir understanding, optimised effectively placement, elevated reserves bookings and manufacturing per effectively, and enhanced field-development determination making. Our prospects can place fewer, higher-quality wells with higher certainty and confidence, enhancing returns from advanced reservoirs and decreasing the carbon depth of discipline growth.”
Geomodelling on the reservoir scale delivers 3D characterisation of structural, stratigraphic and lithographic options of the reservoir, which will increase geosteering confidence. The GeoSphere 360 service makes use of a singular mixture of superior cloud and computing options and digitally enabled {hardware} to accumulate 3D electromagnetic knowledge. This knowledge is contextualised in actual time to enhance the understanding of resistive reservoir our bodies and reservoir dynamics, contributing to higher discipline growth planning.
The GeoSphere 360 service has undergone intensive discipline testing in varied environments globally. Within the Center East, an operator leveraged the GeoSphere 360 service for real-time 3D mapping of sand channel our bodies, leading to optimum effectively placement and most reservoir publicity.
