SLB has launched the OnWave™ autonomous logging platform, a first-of-its-kind know-how that allows extra environment friendly and dependable acquisition of formation analysis measurements in any effectively situation.
OnWave autonomously acquires a number of, high-fidelity measurements downhole, with out the necessity of a wireline unit, and wireline cable. The OnWave platform’s cable-free design takes lower than half the time to deploy in contrast with standard wireline platforms, whereas enabling drill pipe rotation and dust circulation throughout logging operations, to reinforce effectively security and reduce caught pipe occasions.
“The OnWave platform marks the start of a brand new period in formation analysis,” stated Frederik Majkut, president of Reservoir Efficiency, SLB. “By streamlining how we collect high-fidelity measurements downhole, we’re opening up key alternatives for our prospects to combine data-driven resolution making into their workflows throughout the effectively life cycle — from exploration via to manufacturing and restoration.”
Deployable in any effectively trajectory — with out the necessity for an onsite SLB crew — the OnWave platform executes duties downhole that may sometimes be carried out manually by engineers at floor, together with borehole measurement acquisition and knowledge high quality checks. It additionally verifies the device’s place and performance downhole via fixed communication with floor — a functionality most standard cableless logging platforms don’t have. This assures confidence within the knowledge acquisition high quality and avoids remedial logging runs.
Deployed efficiently throughout numerous basins, together with in america and Center East, the OnWave platform has demonstrated important effectivity positive factors in complicated effectively trajectories. In South Texas, the platform lowered the touchdown time to whole depth of the effectively from hours to only 27 minutes — a 70% discount in contrast with standard deployment methods. Processing of the measurements at floor supplied excessive‑high quality built-in petrophysics and acoustic insights, enabling the E&P operator to enhance the stimulation and completion designs and derisk asset subject growth.
