New LWD service provides real-time 360° view up to 100 ft from wellbore

Baker Hughes launched the VisiTrak Geospatial Navigation and Analysis LWD Service for optimized wellbore placement at the 2015 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, held 28-30 September in Houston. VisiTrak uses low-frequency measurements to deliver full geological interpretations, providing operators with a real-time 360˚ view of the wellbore. This enables detection, measurement and visualization of the reservoir architecture and multiple bed boundaries from up to 100 ft away, reducing seismic uncertainty. Jon Skillings, Product Line Manager, Reservoir Navigation Services, explains the full process to DC’s Alex Endress in this video.
