Topic:

LWD Acoustic Imaging

Speaker:

Jennifer Market, Halliburton

TOPIC OVERVIEW:

Azimuthal sonic logging is a rapidly evolving field, providing 360-degree information where we have only had omni-directional data in the past.  This opens up many opportunities for new applications and a more complete characterization of wellbore integrity than ever before.  This talk will cover a review of sonic and ultrasonic azimuthal measurements, paying particular attention to such topics as geosteering and anisotropy.  Applications such as 3D wellbore stability analysis, shale log analysis and hole shape imaging will be discussed, paying particular attention to the most efficient manner to use the data to make real-time decisions as well as optimized production planning.
