- 1
Geosteering fundamentals
What geosteering is, how real-time log interpretation keeps the bit in zone, and how teams steer from the office.
- 2
Survey mathematics
Dogleg severity, TVD and dip by the minimum curvature method, with calculators to check your own numbers.
- 3
Steering in difficult formations
Structural dip, lithology changes and what to do when real-time formation evaluation disagrees with the model.
- 4
Real-time drilling data
WITSML versions, store performance, and cleaning surface data before you steer on it.
- 5
Drilling performance and automation
MSE, cost per metre, and where geosteering fits into a drilling automation system.
