GeoSphere: Mapping-while-drilling Evolution
Manager for Advanced Reservoir Mapping Technologies for Drilling and Measurement at Schlumberger, about their GeoSphere Mapping-While-Drilling Service. What were the breakthroughs in this technology’s development along the last five years? In 2014, Schlumberger introduced the GeoSphere technology, the first-ever reservoir mapping-while-drilling service that enables customers to map their reservoirs using unprecedented depth of investigation measurements around the wellbore coupled with a novel mathematical inversion methodology. Using deep, directional electromagnetic
