The crucial initial phase in the drilling of a relief well is the development of an extensive relief well plan. The planning requires geoscientists, drilling engineers, and well planners to have detailed information on the subsurface geology and its attributes as well...
Seismic reflection data have been utilized in the oil and gas industry and other geological studies to identify subsurface characteristics, calling attention to prevalent uncertainty and variations. The data is dependent upon the presence of acoustical contrasts...
Point Loma, California—LiDAR merged with aerial photo. LiDAR data generated for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography by the Center for Space Research, the University of Texas at Austin (CSR), with support provided by the Bureau of Economic Geology, the University...
Potential Infill well plans showing different sidetrack opportunities while targeting bypassed oil in an onshore oil field. Data courtesy of RMOTC and US DOE. The economic and engineering risk associated with the development of hydrocarbon assets is immense. In...
The oil and gas industry has used big data as a way to fill the information gap in all phases of asset development within an oil field. Associated historical data mostly comes from an individual well in a single geospatial location. From exploration to completion and...
