Geosteering in Thin Carbonate Clinoform Reservoirs - A Low Tech and High Tech Case Study

This paper discusses the use of geosteering technology for well placement and its role in the appraisal of a stratigraphic carbonate play in North Oman. It illustrates the objectives and risks of the appraisal drilling in thin and heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs. Three case studies are presented to illustrate the optimal use of geosteering tools that are currently available, balancing costs with optimal well delivery.
