Assessment Geosteering Practices
1. Selection and communication of targets is critical for a successful horizontal well. Choose the best method below for communicating targets.
A .The Panic Method
B .The Point in Space Method
C .The Drill the Plan Method
D .The Centerline Method ✔
2. Biosteering provides reservoir-scale stratigraphic control thus helping the Geosteering Team ascertain where a high-angle or horizontal well is within the stratigraphic column.
A .True ✔
B .False
3. Which of the following is the critical data requirement of biosteering?
A .LWD resistivity and gamma ray
B .Pre-drill structural model that is based on offset wells
C .Formation cuttings, collected at the shale-shaker ✔
D .Seismic data (preferably 3-D data volumes)
4. A synthetic seismogram of a measured depth horizontal log is quite useless because the measured depth log does not represent a model of the stratigraphic section.
A .True ✔
B .False
5. When drilling in the Lateral section of the horizontal wellbore one should
A .Make steering decisions only when the geology changes
B .Make bailout or sidetrack contingencies, and then abide by them.
C .Make steering decisions only after all of the critical data has been examined.
D .Admit mistakes in judgment, recover, and continue.
E .All of the above ✔
6. The True Vertical Depth is an extremely accurate measurement and should be depended upon to keep the well in target.
A .True
B .False ✔
7. The data from LWD logs is critical for successfully steering a horizontal well with little or no requirement for interpretation.
A .True
B .False ✔
