The logging-while-drilling (LWD) service measures borehole sizes and shapes, showing fractures, faults, and more. PixStar imaging showed fractures and bed boundaries in a near-horizontal wellbore, removing the need for separate wireline run. Ready to take the next step?

The ability to identify both bed boundaries and zones of borehole breakout in high-mudweight, high-angle OBM applications, using ultrasonic LWD technology, offers an alternative to wireline technologies, where wellbore stability concerns pose a significant risk for wireline deployments.

Logging While Drilling (LWD), also known as LWD drilling or LWD logging, is a revolutionary downhole measurement technique employed in the oil and gas industry that facilitates the acquisition of crucial formation data in real-time, directly from the wellbore as drilling progresses.

LWD imaging services from Baker Hughes capture images of your borehole from different tools at different resolutions delivering critical information on the condition of your wellbore and the geology of the surrounding formation.

HEF has interpreted hundreds of logging while drilling image logs (LWD) using gamma ray, density and resistivity images from all over the world. These images are used for a host of possible applications: • Structural analysis • Stratigraphic analysis, including distinguishing cross-bedding and brecciated bedding from impermeable layers

Nov 11, 2019 · Oilfield services company Halliburton has unveiled a new logging-while-drilling technology that provides real-time images of the borehole to help operators identify fractures, improve wellbore stability and optimize completion design.

An innovative LWD dual-physics imager has been recently deployed, providing much-needed high resolution measurements for the ever-growing applications through various stages of an oilfield; thereby finally providing borehole images in OBM while drilling worthy of hundred applications with real-time capabilities.

Image logs can provide critical information to reduce drilling risk, as they allow for early detection of structures such as faults or fractures. The timeliness of such information is undermined by the time required to manually interpret the data and the subjectivity of interpretations.

Mar 26, 2013 · Advanced LWD imaging tools provide visual confirmation of steering up and down within the reservoir and identify structural information, porosity changes, rock type, faults and the location, density and type of fractures.
