Deepwater Formation Evaluation

Logging-While-Drilling

Logging While Drilling services allow operators to log and evaluate formations often within minutes of being drilled, which ensures little or no wellbore alteration or formation invasion. LWD data are transmitted to the surface by mud pulse telemetry and stored in memory for later retrieval on the surface. The real-time LWD data enable real-time decision making on the rig or, using Beacon in the office. A wide range of LWD products are available including the next generation MWD / LWD platform, Multiple Propagation Resistivity (MPR)LithoTrak™ services, and SoundTrak™ services.

  • Fully-integrated into the BHA with no compromise to the drilling process 
    • Wireline-quality samples at high penetration rates
    • Rugged, reliable designs
    • Increased bending limits
  • Comprehensive reservoir characterization
    • Quantify hydrocarbons
  • EarthVision 3-D Visualization
    • Improved wellbore placement
