Abstract
A method for optimizing deposit production in a well includes localizing the low resistivity fluid deposits in a geological formation. Once the deposits are mapped, production of the fluid deposit from the geological formation is optimized based on the localizing. The optimization may include adjustment of at least one of a drilling parameter or a production parameter.
Claims22
A method for optimizing production in a well, the method comprising:
- localizing low resistivity fluid deposits in a geological formation;
- and
- optimizing production of the fluid deposits from the geological formation based on the localizing by adjustment of at least one of a drilling parameter or a production parameter.
A method for optimizing production in a well, the method comprising:
- drilling a production or an injector well in a geological formation;
- localizing, with the production or injector well, low resistivity fluid deposits in the geological formation by:
- electromagnetic tomography, current leakage measurement, or logging while drilling deep-reading to map low resistivity fluid deposits in the geological formation;
- and
- geosteering drilling, adjusting casing parameters, or estimating steam characteristics of the fluid based on the localizing.
2 more elements
A drilling system comprising:
- a down hole tool comprising an electromagnetic tomography tool, a current leakage measurement tool, or a logging while drilling deep-reading tool configured to map low resistivity fluid deposits in a geological formation;
- and
- a controller coupled to the down hole tool and configured to control optimization of production of the fluid by controlling a drilling parameter or a production parameter based on the mapping of the fluid.
