14: Directional Drilling - Wellbore Positioning I
Information
Wellbore placement involves the engineering, technology, and know-how required to geometrically position the different types of wells in the reservoir while avoiding existing wells and geohazards. As a fundamental component of the directional drilling discipline, wellbore placement technologies and techniques have vastly advanced over the last decade and continue to evolve at a very rapid speed. This exciting session will cover new developments related to collision avoidance and its impact on risk, new technology disrupting the current practices of wellbore placement as well as new computational techniques.
Session Chairpersons: Martyn Greensmith, Independent and Adrian Ledroz, Gyrodata Inc.
