Formation Evaluation: Well Directional Geosteering using Aspen Geolog Geosteer

Aspen Geolog Geosteer is a comprehensive toolbox for geologically steering a well through the geology of the subsurface. The correlation between expected or modeled logs, and real-time LWD log curves helps, during drilling, to quantify and qualify the number of adjustments that need to be made to the well trajectory to ensure optimal entry into the reservoir, obtain a precise position of the wellbore relative to the geology, and prevent an early exit from the reservoir. Geolog Geosteer offers an effective way to interpret log data in highly deviated wells and can be done at the rig site or in the office. This course
teaches the basics of using Geosteer by guiding the user step by step, through a typical workflow.

Audience:

Geoscientists who plan high angle or horizontal wells, are involved in the drilling of high angle or horizontal wells, and participate in petrophysical and structural postmortems of these wells.
