Ian Tribe has authored or co-authored over 30 publications related to drilling optimization, well placement, and formation evaluation using logging while drilling (LWD) and rotary steerable systems. Some of his publications focus on specific field case studies where these technologies improved drilling efficiency and reservoir drainage. He has also published on the use of LWD measurements like density and ultrasonic calipers to obtain real-time hole shape images and structural cross-sections to aid geosteering.
