![]() ![]() ![]() Other effects complicating the borehole environment include asymmetric invasion profiles, the presence of cuttings beds and drilling mud segregation. These effects include local layering or resistivity anisotropy, and boundary effects such as proximity and polarization horns on the resistivity measurements. The paper demonstrates how the new process addresses the most common effects in horizontal wells in a timely and efficient manner, allowing it to form a part of petrophysical analysis in high angle and horizontal wells.In high angle and horizontal wells it is often difficult to apply the traditional petrophysical interpretation techniques normally used in vertical wells, due to geometric effects on the data in particular the resistivity logs. While similar methodology has been available in the past, the process was laborious and time consuming, and therefore it was not well applied in the industry. The workflow involves building a layered geological model and modeling the log responses in a model-compare-update loop to obtain the log properties of each layer. AbstractThis paper presents the results of using a new workflow to correct and validate logging-while-drilling measurements (LWD) from horizontal wells, and the impact of the results in the petrophysical answers derived from the measurements. ![]()
