GeoSphere HD
High-definition reservoir mapping-while-drilling service
Overview
Map reservoir boundaries with greater accuracy
Our GeoSphere HD™ high-definition reservoir mapping-while-drilling service better quantifies structural uncertainty, providing enhanced depictions of the target zone and surrounding conductive layers to maximize reservoir exposure. With improved transmitter power and high-definition inversion in a fully automated, cloud-enabled solution, the GeoSphere HD service characterizes complex reservoirs with high accuracy, improved lateral continuity, early feature detection, and accurate thin layers delineation.
The GeoSphere HD service provides a wide range of spacing and frequency to map a depth of investigation that exceeds 250 ft [76.2 m]—the largest in the industry and covering the widest range of environments. Its fully modular configuration, with measurements close to the bit, uses cloud-enabled, fully automated technology to depict multiple boundaries in high definition and real time to improve production potential.
Integrating data from the GeoSphere HD service into 3D reservoir models revolutionizes drilling and completion designs, boosting production and refining field strategies. Export GeoSphere HD service maps to Petrel™ subsurface software for stunning 3D displays that enhance seismic correlations and reservoir updates. Delineate subsurface layers with GeoSphere HD service data to evaluate sweep efficiency and map reservoir boundaries, maximizing vertical distance above the oil/water contact.
