Extra-deep azimuthal resistivity improves navigation in a complex Barents Sea reservoir

Part 1. In Goliat field, offshore Norway, VisiTrak extra-deep resistivity measurements detected the top of the reservoir at least 20 m TVD and 130 m MD, before entering the reservoir, enhancing accurate wellbore landing. The resistivity measurements also helped reduce the uncertainty in fault detection, providing critical, real-time “Answers While Drilling.”
