Role of wellplacement in Maximizing Production Performance in an Undeveloped Carbonate Reservoir A Case Study, Offshore Abu Dhabi

The value of the continuing integration of logging-while-drilling (LWD) and directional drilling processes has been more prominent in the current economic environment in terms of optimizing field development costs by means of precise well placement, as well as improved reservoir characterization and drilling performance in real time. A successful horizontal drain was drilled in undeveloped Reservoir-A for the first time in an offshore carbonate sequence, using advanced LWD acoustic and high-resolution microresistivity sensors.
