Abstract

Summary

A workflow has been developed to conserve expert knowledge across the different disciplines relevant for geosteering, and to minimize real-time misinterpretations and suboptimal decisions. To enable the workflow, a dedicated geosteering expert group has been established. Technical advancements including 3D modelling capabilities and the possibility of creating automated model perturbations have been made within an inhouse geomodelling software. Furthermore, a geosteering training simulator (GTS) has been developed to make the geosteering “experience” available for personnel outside drilling hours. The GTS has been applied for training of internal personnel, but significant upgrades are expected due to high research priority. The overall workflow is in its early stage of operation and is designed to handle integration of future technical solutions as they become available. Currently, the expert group provide technical services to the assets and other personnel in volved in geosteering while the research group has a continuous focus on further developments. However, streamlining the workflow will require fully operational cloud solutions and data lakes where cross-organizational data and algorithms can be shared in a safe and efficient way.
