41. Distance to Boundary Summary
• The directional measurements are dependent on resistivity contrast
and Distance to Boundary (DTB).
• Multi-Depth of Investigation measurements are used to solve for
formation parameters through inversion.
• RT orientation to boundary is available
– Angle encoded with 8 bits
– Accuracy ~2.5°

43. Answer Product: RT Inversion
Typical inputs: 2 Res + 4 Dir Att + 4 Dir PS
Simultaneously solve multiple models
– Algorithm selects best fit model
– Complex models are penalized

44. Answer Product: RT Inversion
Point-by-point inversion using multi-DoI directional Att
& PS
Overcome correlation geosteering limitations
– Solves resistivities even if varying laterally
– Solves for resistivity anisotropy
– Apparent dip is not a required input

50. Boundary Detection & Range
No simple answer to “How far can PeriScope 15 see?”
All claims made to customers must be verified by
modeling
Up to 15 ft is the global marketing message
– Proven example: Statoil Veslefrikk 17ft
#1 challenge with PeriScope:
– Formation Complexity > Inversion Complexity.
– Must have clear resistivity contrast
– Conductivity seeking tool

Challenging Environments
Always tell the client modeling is the best way to
understand measurement performance in their particular
environment
We are very good at predicting tool performance
