Lithology: Interbedded stacked sands separated by thin shale layers
Borehole diameter: 6 in
Drilling fluid: Nonconductive mud (NCM)
Wintershall Dea, Europe's leading independent gas and oil company, faced numerous challenges in understanding the structural and stratigraphic features of a formation penetrated by a 6-in borehole. These could be resolved through microresistivity logging with Quanta Geo photorealistic reservoir geology service to acquire high-resolution images with nearly total borehole coverage and accurate dip measurements in NCM. With the introduction of a 5-in version of Quanta Geo service, the borehole was now accessible despite its slim diameter limitation.
