GeoTap® Sensor
With Sperry Drilling services' GeoTap® LWD formation tester, it is possible to obtain real-time direct pore pressure measurements, with accuracy and precision comparable to that of wireline formation testers. The GeoTap service bridges a critical gap in drilling safety and optimization, providing early and reliable measurements of reservoir pressure and mud density.
Benefits
- Helps improve formation evaluation
- Obtain real-time fluid gradients and fluid mobility (permeability/viscosity indicator)
- Identify fluid contact points, and determine reservoir connectivity/compartmentalization, and depletion
- Can increase safety of operation
- Determine optimal mud weight and manage equivalent circulating density
- Know of pressure changes when they occur, not after it's too late
- Continuously update wellbore stability assessments
- Reduce formation damage
- Helps increase drilling efficiency
- Determine precise overbalance for maximizing ROP
- Continuously monitor hole cleaning effectiveness with Pressure-While-Drilling, while reducing formation damage due to swab/surge
- Save time, money
- reduce rig down time associated with wireline testing
SOLAR: this sensor also exists in the high temperature/high pressure version. Please check the sensor datasheet for exact specifications.
