Abstract
The paper presents an interdisciplinary approach to using the results of the interpretation of seismic data when accompanying the drilling of horizontal wells, which allows predicting the presence of a fault in the profile path of a horizontal well, an initial assessment of the bedding parameters and the amplitude of the fault plane. The forecast accuracy of the structural framework allows a more prepared approach to drilling a horizontal well. The paper shows the possibilities of using seismic results, allowing to perform work on the optimal wiring of a drilling tool within an oil-saturated formation. This view will be of interest to specialists in the design and construction of horizontal wells. An integrated approach to ensuring the drilling process, reducing or minimizing the risks of formation loss can be applied to any field being developed.
