Real-Time 3d visualization service updated

Turning wellbore-related data into real-time imagery for enhanced well planning and optimization, directional drilling, and reservoir navigation is now part of this firm's digital oil field offerings through its WellLink 3D visualization service.

Users can now see a real-time synopsis of their drilling environment, including Earth models and tool diameters, the firm notes. Well data are viewable within its geologic context allowing operators to make real-time corrections of well trajectory and drilling parameters, helping to optimize wellbore placement and maximize reservoir contact.

The visualization service helps:

• Improve understanding of real-time measurements by displaying them in geologic context.

• Minimize risk through better understanding of the formation and its relationship with the wellbore.

• Provide better understanding of available space between offset well paths and the planned or actual well path for anticollision planning.

New remote alert monitor

A new remote alert monitoring system (R.A.M.S.) is designed for use within secondary containment.

It is capable of monitoring high and low fluid levels and high and low temperature levels. The system can be upgraded to monitor pressure alarms, compressor shutdowns, and tank levels.
