Relevant-time update of an earth model with logging-while-drilling data
Complex wells require new tools to facilitate data integration. The high costs of drilling in deep water require optimum communications between disciplines. Combining downhole data with seismic interpretations on a "relevant time" basis ensures use of the latest information across disciplines. A system has been developed that integrates real-time data capture and management tools with geoscience interpretation and well-design software.
