Weatherford Laboratories is the industry leader in providing traditional laboratory services at the wellsite in order to evaluate and characterize potential reservoirs.
Utilizing Labs to Wellsite services provides an opportunity to battle the issues associated with high levels of both vertical and horizontal heterogeneity. Now laboratory quality data can be delivered at TD and utilized to make more informed drilling and completions decisions for the subject well.
Monitoriing trends in available hydrocarbon content, organic richness, production index, thermal maturity, mineral concentrations and brittleness for a subject well aids in:
- More effective exploration programs by screening many wells across a leasehold or entire basin.
- Maximizing production of vertical wellbores by immediately identifying the most attractive intervals for hydrocarbon production including potential by-pass pay zones or secondary pay zones.
- Maximizing production of horizontal wellbores by accurately identifying the proper depth to land the lateral and confirming zonal containment while drilling the lateral section.
- Minimizing completions costs by identifying the more brittle zones ideal for fracturing and more ductile zones to potentially avoid when staging fractures and stimulations.
