    The document summarizes a new deep electromagnetic logging-while-drilling tool that can detect geological layers and boundaries up to 30 meters from the wellbore. It was tested in three horizontal wells over 600 meters long each. In one well, the tool detected an important formation top 5 meters above the well trajectory, predicting its location over 75 meters before intersection. Individual layers were visible over 450 meters horizontally and 17-27 meters radially from the wellbore. This new tool allows mapping of features like pinchouts, waterflood impacts, and subsurface faults, providing valuable geological information for reservoir mapping and monitoring.

    ABSTRACT

    Geosteering measurements that accurately predict oncoming strata in high-angle and


    horizontal wells are the dream of all well operators and an important responsibility for service
    companies. To perform this task, service companies have developed measurements that
    produce both wellbore images and petrophysical data. These measurements identify the
    structural dip of formations and characterize reservoir properties. The depth of investigation
    of these measurements are typically no more than a few centimeters from the wellbore, and
    are therefore limited to mapping only the first nearby geological boundary.

    A new deep electromagnetic (EM) logging-while-drilling (LWD) tool currently in field test
    extends the depth of investigation to 30-m or more from the well bore. The depth of
    investigation provided by the new LWD tool allows detection of multiple strata over long
    horizontal distances. The hardware was tested in three different horizontal wells. Each well
    had a horizontal reach of at least 600-m.

    The new measurement system allows identification of multiple resistivity layers that
    correspond to different geological interfaces. In one of the wells, an important formation top
    was identified at a vertical distance of 5-m true vertical depth (TVD) from the well bore
    trajectory that had an inclination of 87°. This corresponds to a predicted distance of more than
    75-m before the bit crosses the interface. Individual layers in the horizontal section were
    visible for horizontal distances that exceeded 450-m and at radial distances from the wellbore
    that varied between 17 and 27-m. This detection capability gave a high level of confidence
    in the geosteering process. Not only did the measurements improve the correlation between
    geological markers, but they also attracted the attention of the reservoir geologists who used
    these observations to map geological features.
    To date, our experience with the new deep EM LWD tool has allowed us to map a sandstone
    pinch out, map a region influenced by the washout of water injection in the field, delineate
    reservoir continuity, and identify a sub seismic fault. These types of heterogeneities are
    important features that impact fluid flow and our understanding of the reservoir.

    The data delivered by this new LWD tool provides more geological information than any
    other technology currently available in the market. This technology provides valuable
    information that can be used by geologists and operational engineers to map and monitor the
    reservoir.
