Web-Technologies Based Software for Oil and Gas Wells Geosteering

Abstract

Accuracy of the horizontal well placement in the target reservoir becomes essential for efficient oilfield development. Geosteering of a well with a complex trajectory is performed using real-time geophysical data obtained while drilling. The presented work is devoted to the development of a new software for horizontal oil and gas wells geosteering. Algorithms based on logging data correlation and electromagnetic logging data numerical inversion methods are used for well placement. The developed application is based on web-technologies and has a client-server architecture. To optimize the resource-intensive calculations execution time, high-performance cloud computing is used.
