WHAT IS ANSWERS WHILE DRILLINGSM?
Answers While Drilling means you don’t wait for answers.
All the precise formation evaluation and positioning data you need to make informed
wellsite decisions are downhole, right at the bottom-hole assembly. Use it. In real
time. Right here. Right now.
Answers While Drilling, at its heart, is a suite of drilling tools and services
that measures and logs as you drill. It also dynamically gathers FE (formation evaluation)
and positioning data, right at the bottom-hole assembly and transmits it the surface
for immediate analysis—the information that leads to immediate answers and
immediate decisions, on the spot.
Answers While Drilling means rotary steerable, closed-loop drilling systems
that offer the highest levels of automation, drilling speed, range and intricate
directional drilling capabilities to the industry.
Answers While Drilling means high-performance drilling motors that generate
more horsepower and drill both more quickly and more precisely than any other motors
today.
Answers While Drilling means advanced LWD (logging while drilling) technology
and data processing, bringing what had long been only a promising technology to
achieve full parity with the FE data collected by drill-then-log tools, providing
comprehensive formation evaluation data, but with one important distinction: it’s
all in real time.
Answers While Drilling means enhanced wellsite efficiency, integrating drilling
and FE data so that the right decisions are made immediately and dynamically—drastically
enhancing drilling efficiency while reducing rig idle time and its attendant costs.
Answers While Drilling means enhanced risk mitigation, keeping your fingers
on the pulse of your drill to instantly detect and act on alarms and anomalies.
Answers While Drilling means real-time logging capabilities that bring you
unprecedented capabilities in reservoir navigation and well-placement precision.
Answers While Drilling means the capability to fully and economically explore
and tap the full extent of a reservoir. To thread the needle through mature fields
to reach what once were economically unfeasible reserves. To drill horizontally
as smoothly and efficiently as you would vertically, to shoot out lateral wells,
to create the longest wells in the world, economically and efficiently, knowing
where you are and what’s around you every inch of the way.
Answers While Drilling means a resource of knowledge and support from experienced,
well-trained field personnel and comprehensive geoscience and engineering support.
It means being linked up with the world’s experts in well planning and while
drilling technology, the people who know how to interpret real-time FE and positioning
data in real time to help drive your real-time decisions, working 24 hours a day.
That’s Answers While Drilling.
