Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001694

To direct the trajectory of a directional wellbore in real time based on geological data acquired while drilling. This involves interpreting logging-while-drilling (LWD) data to keep the wellbore within a specific target formation or a sweet spot. The objective is to maximize reservoir exposure and hydrocarbon recovery.
