چکیده
SUMMARY Use and interpretation of wireline lookahead VSP combined with LWD seismic while drilling and LWD sonic log for base of salt prediction, a case study offshore Brasil deep offshore Campos. It aimed to assist drilling decisions by obtaining a more accurate prediction of Base of Salt depth. Setting the 9-5/8" casing point was key from a drilling perspective.

The Effect of Fault Plane on the Horizontal In Situ Stresses Orientation: a Case Study in one of Iranian Oilfield
Knowledge of the orientation of horizontal in situ stresses is important to some areas of oil and gas field development plans. Borehole breakouts observed in image logs and drilling-induced fractures are the main parameters for the determination of the stresses’ directions in situ. In this work, the orientations of borehole breakouts were investigated as a function of depth in oil wells A and ...
متن کاملWellbore-Stability Study for the SAFOD Borehole Through the San Andreas Fault
This paper presents a wellbore-stability study of the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) research borehole located near Parkfield, California, USA. In the summer of 2005, the SAFOD borehole was drilled successfully through the active trace of the San Andreas Fault (SAF) in an area characterized by fault creep and frequent microearthquakes. In this study, we report how the analysis o...

Madan Bozorg is an active copper mine located in NE Iran, which is a part of the very wide copper mineralization zone named Miami-Sabzevar copper belt. The main goal of this research work is the 3D model construction of the induced polarization (IP) and resistivity (Rs) data with quantifying the uncertainties using geostatistical methods and drilling. Four profiles were designed and surveyed us...
متن کاملIntegrating Surface and Borehole Geophysics in the Characterization of Salinity in a Coastal Aquifer
A combination of geologic descriptions of cores, borehole geophysics, surfacegeophysical soundings and water-sample analyses was used to characterize flow in the surficial aquifer in the vicinity of Big Cypress National Preserve, Collier County, south Florida. The geophysical analysis augmented by aquifer tests and piezometer measurements showed that the surficial aquifer is under unconfined co...
متن کاملAn Estimation of Required Rotational Torque to Operate Horizontal Directional Drilling Using Rock Engineering Systems
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is widely used in soil and rock engineering. In a variety of conditions, it is necessary to estimate the torque required for performing the reaming operation. Nevertheless, there is not presently a convenient method to accomplish this task. In this paper, to overcome this difficulty based on the basic concepts of rock engineering systems (RES), a model for ...
