VisiTrak service accurately mapped reservoir to ensure correct well placement
VisiTrak service accurately mapped reservoir to ensure correct well placement Challenges • New development field with limited offset data and uncertain seismic models • Land the wellbore as close as possible to the top of the reservoir to maximize recovery • Accurately detect multiple reservoir boundaries using extra-deep azimuthal resistivity measurements Results • Validated inversion interpretations from pilot holes • Mapped the top and bottom of the Odin reservoir continuously • Optimized well placement in response to significant variations in reservoir thickness The Svalin field, operated by Statoil ASA, is located 5 miles (8 km) southwest of the Grane field in the Norwegian North Sea. The water depth in the area is approximately 294 ft (120 m). The Svalin field will
