Geosteering Workflow Considerations | From Pre-Drill Planning to Real-Time Steering

What makes a horizontal well truly successful—not just drilled, but accurately placed inside the reservoir? In this video, we explore the complete geosteering workflow and the real-time decisions that guide modern horizontal wells through complex subsurface formations. Based on the paper: “Geosteering Workflow Considerations of How and Why” by Alan D. Cull and Anand Gupta This episode covers: • The fundamentals of geosteering workflow • Real-time decision making while drilling • Logging While Drilling (LWD) and petrophysical interpretation • Structural and stratigraphic modeling • Directional drilling and rotary steerable systems • Deep azimuthal resistivity technology • Borehole imaging and formation evaluation • Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) challenges • Reservoir navigation and staying within zone • Sidetrack prevention and optimization strategies • Remote geosteering operations centers • The integration of geology, drilling, and petrophysics Geosteering is more than steering a well—it is the integration of geology, engineering, petrophysics, and real-time analytics to maximize reservoir contact and improve field development efficiency. Whether you are a geologist, drilling engineer, petrophysicist, MWD engineer, mudlogger, or energy professional, this video provides a practical overview of how modern geosteering operations work in the field.
