Propogation LWD Tool Analysing for Better Saturation Estimation in High Angle Horizontal Well Conditions

Abstract

Multidepth electromagnetic logging tool is considered as traditional measurements of formation resistivity estimation while drilling. When considering data in wells with high angles trajectory, more than 70 degrees, the resistivity measurements could be affected by several factors associated with geological conditions and logging tool specifications. As the result, during water saturation estimation formation properties could be distorted, which will lead to significant effect of reservoir properties assessment and the design of the horizontal well completion. Within the framework of this paper, various methods of influence on the resistivity readings will be considered, especially with cross boundary effects and reservoir formations with anisotropy. At the same time, propagation resistivity logging technologies while drilling with interpretation and boundary propagation technologies will be observed, which has tilted azimuthal oriented receivers for geosteering service of horizontal wells and additionally helps with take into account of boundary enflurane on standard resistivity logging.
