The GPS system for the subsurface environment

Until recently, operators were limited in the types of real-time resistivity measurements they could use for reservoir navigation. Deep reading omni-directional measurements provided information about approaching contacts, but did not tie the approaching bed boundary to a specific azimuth.
In contrast, high-resolution resistivity images provided a 360 deg view of the wellbore in excellent details, but only had a depth of investigation of a few inches. As a result, the value of this data in reservoir navigation application was typically limited.
With INTEQ’s new AziTrak Deep Azimuthal Resistivity service, reservoir Navigation and geosteering decisions just got easier, more precise and a lot more confident.
The answers are clear
Our AziTrak azimuthal propagation Resistivity sub integrates measurements while drilling (MWD) and logging while drilling (LWD) capabilities into one tool, using extended-range signal propagation and detection for precise, reliable navigation data. Operators know their location, can see their target and steer right to it.
Despite claims, there is still is no such things as “forward looking” drilling. What reservoir navigation with INTEQ’s AziTrak Deep Azimuthal Resistivity service provides is forward-looking knowledge. With deep-reading azimuthal images, one can calculate the distance and angle of the deviation several hours sooner that with conventional technology- offering the ultimate in well plan flexibility
Navigation with Answers While Drilling
Reservoir navigation - the matching of geological and resistivity models to drill along and through bed boundaries to precisely place wells- has never been more efficient and accurate that with INTEQ’s experienced well planners, reservoir navigation supervisors and directional drillers couple with the best-in-class technology. Technology such as the powerful AutoTrak TM closed-loop rotary steerable systems and near-bit advanced MWD and LWD systems are what make realtime geosteering and precise reservoir navigation possible.
With the addition of our AziTrak and Deep Azimuthal Resistivity technology, this integrated Answers While Drilling services is more efficient and precise that ever before.
The AziTrak sub is virtually a GPS system for reservoir navigation with a clarity that allows operators to visualize their location, the formation structure and the navigational heading-all in realtime, for immediate answers and immediate decision making.
