METHODS FOR ESTIMATING A POSITION OF A WELL PATH WITHIN A SUBSURFACE FORMATION

A method of estimating a position of a well path within a subsurface formation of the Earth, the method comprising determining a well path estimate using navigation measurements from a downhole tool and a position estimate derived from seismic data. A method of geosteering comprising: estimating a p...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of estimating a position of a well path within a subsurface formation of the Earth, the method comprising determining a well path estimate using navigation measurements from a downhole tool and a position estimate derived from seismic data. A method of geosteering comprising: estimating a position of the well path and controlling a drill bit in response to the estimated position of the well path to follow a desired well trajectory.
