Magnetic ranging is crucial in well intercepts, where the goal is to accurately intersect, re-enter or hydraulically communicate with an existing wellbore.
In drilling operations with multiple wellbores in close proximity, the risk of collision must be minimized. Magnetic ranging systems help in collision avoidance by providing real-time information about the location and orientation of nearby wellbores.
Magnetic ranging is employed in Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) applications to guide the drilling of horizontal well pairs. Magnetic ranging systems help accurately place and maintain the horizontal well pairs, ensuring optimal steam distribution and oil recovery.
In geothermal energy projects, targeting hot rock formations or geothermal reservoirs requires magnetic ranging systems to optimize well placement and maximize heat extraction and energy production.
The implementation of both passive and active ranging systems enable operator to overcome complex challenges in geothermal well.
