Geosteering is complex, requiring skilled personnel and advanced software to process and interpret data, often resulting in decisions taking up to an hour. Dependency on human processing and interpretation impacts well construction performance, and often causes the customer to slow down until a decision is made. These delays can occur multiple times during drilling. Neuro™ autonomous geosteering addresses these challenges by revolutionizing the current approach to well construction while ensuring consistent, repeatable net pay and ultimately achieving maximum reservoir extraction per footage drilled.

How it improves performance

Neuro autonomous geosteering improves field development and reservoir management by ensuring consistent net pay and maximizing production. It optimizes well placement, removing human limitations associated with the complexities of prioritizing dependencies to deliver the best well placement. Neuro autonomous geosteering integrates data for consistent and repeatable geosteering performance. Key enablers include:

• Subsurface Advisor maximizes reservoir insights by integrating and interpreting data
• Directional Drilling Advisor ensures optimal trajectory drilling
• Downhole and Surface Automation reduces decision times to seconds with automated drilling

Additionally, it enhances our PeriScope™ bed boundary mapping service and GeoSphere™ reservoir mapping-while-drilling service families.
