Abstract
Effective reservoir management requires sound decision making that is based on formation evaluation data acquired<br>during all stages of the life of the well. Without this data, reservoir understanding is compromised, which can impact<br>long term well productivity. Given the increasing challenges of acquiring data in today's geometrically complex wells,<br>new methods of data acquisition are constantly being developed and refined. This has led to a new area of oilfield<br>innovation called conveyance. This paper is an analysis of the risks associated with the acquisition of formation<br>evaluation data.
