Today’s plays call for advanced wellbore insight and accuracy

With the large increase in unconventional and horizontal drilling

projects, maintaining and optimizing production has become

increasingly complex and critical for operators. Success in

these challenging environments requires reliable data and client

understanding in key areas:

Well completions in geologically complex environments

Reservoir rock composition and its variability along

lateral well sections during drilling

Swelling clays and their effects on drilling and completions

Reduce reservoir uncertainty

Weatherford FracAdvisor service provides near real-time, expert

guidance for enhanced fracture design in unconventional reservoirs.

By combining petrophysical and geomechanical analysis, FracAdvisor

service optimizes completion operations and reduces production

variability uncertainty. Integrating several key formation-evaluation

technologies along with innovative surface-logging tools and

Weatherford Laboratories, FracAdvisor service provides near real-

time guidance for enhanced completion decision making. The service

identifies naturally occurring fractures and calculates fracability along

horizontal or vertical wellbores, fields, or basins. Evaluating attributes

such as total organic carbon (TOC), maturity, natural fracture patterns,

and in-situ stresses, the service allows for enhanced telemetry

perspectives and a more efficient fracture operation.

Real-time data, enhanced decision making

Weatherford advanced logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools and

interpretation techniques provide near real-time reservoir characterization

and time-critical geosteering information. The CrossWave® azimuthal

sonic tool provides both total sonic measurements and 360° azimuthal

sonic borehole images using 16 fixed-orientation azimuthal bins. Its

dynamic telemetry options provide accurate borehole and reservoir

measurements, reports, and evaluations that facilitate near real-time

drilling decisions anywhere in the world. Take advantage of far-reaching

perspectives that allow for faster decision making by geosteering

specialists in your office and at our real-time data centers. It’s advanced

technology for increasing your percent of in-zone wellbore placements

and reducing nonproductive time.

Advanced tools, better well design

Weatherford wireline tools and services seamlessly complement

our drilling and evaluation expertise in even the most extreme

environments. The Compact microimager (CMI) delivers an

exceptional level of detail and precision in well logs, while its 10

deployment options provide unrivaled versatility. Maximize your

well potential with Weatherford drilling services that offer the

innovations and expertise to help you collect and analyze vital data

for improving production and capital efficiency.

Get custom-fit completion designs for complex subsurface reservoirsUsing our highly collaborative approach with clients, FracAdvisor

service helps identify optimal completion solutions that

complement the unique formation characteristics of a well. With

improved understanding of the formation characteristics, each

stage and each fracture cluster of a completion can be fine-tuned

for greater productivity.

An operator seeking to increase its fracturing efficiency in

South Texas asked Weatherford Petroleum Consulting to create

a custom completion solution using FracAdvisor service.

By integrating reservoir and geomechanical data, including 11 unique

reservoir and rock qualities such as brittleness and porosity specific

to the formation, Weatherford attained a higher understanding of the

rock and reservoir qualities. Analyzing these individual attributes and

honing the completion design achieved optimal hydraulic-fracturing

efficiency and greatly reduced the number of completions stages

needed for the job.

Following the Weatherford recommendations, the operator saved

$500,000 through stage optimization on the well. Pleased with

the results on this first well, the client engaged Weatherford to

use FracAdvisor and other formation-evaluation technologies and

services in additional wells.
