Baker Hughes has launched the Reservoir Navigation Services (RNS) software, which optimizes wellbore placement through the combination of reservoir modeling, a real-time drilling evaluation toolkit, and 3-D/4-D visualization software.According to the company, the service is designed to optimize production and increase overall asset recovery by reducing uncertainty during drilling and delivering maximum reservoir contact in the targeted zone.
RNS includes a pre-well planning process that integrates multiple offset-well and digital horizon data into a 3-D geospatial model of the reservoir’s anticipated stratigraphy. Proposed well plans are verified against the model’s structural data, which is used to create a predictive model that anticipates real-time tool responses to the expected stratigraphy.
Additional forward models are built to test alternative geological interpretations, qualify geological model reliability, and identify potential weaknesses in the geological interpretation. Data from the various models are used to map the well in the zone of maximum interest.
