Superior well navigation and geo-steering with OCTIO DrillWatch

27November2019

Offshore drilling is a costly and complex operation. In order to successfully achieve well-objectives and ensure maximum value from production, operators must make timely and informed decisions throughout the drilling process. With OCTIO DrillWatch, operators can avoid costly interruptions and avoid previously unforeseen hazards through improved navigation of the drill bit. While existing methods for tracking the drill-bit during drilling suffer from uncertainties that increase

OCTIO to unveil seismic-while-drilling look-ahead results at the SEG Annual Meeting

10September2019

Drilling operations are planned based on seismic data and reservoir models. But even when best possible data are available, faults can remain unresolved and hazardous features like karst cavities can come as a surprise. The navigation of the drill bit with respect to the reservoir itself can sometimes remind of a walk in the fog, due to uncertainties in the velocity model. OCTIO’s DrillWatch technology

Gravitude’s new technology boosts the quality of 4D OBN seismic

27August2019

Gravitude’s DepthWatch technology is used to determine relative seafloor depths with extreme accuracy. Thanks to recent developments that make the instrumentation even more precise and compact, DepthWatch is now available as a service for ocean bottom node (OBN) seismic campaigns. The development will be presented by Paul Hatchell (Shell) at the forthcoming SEG Conference (see the abstract here). 4D OBN surveys are performed periodically over

OCTIO Gravitude obtains unprecedented data quality at the Snøhvit, Albatross and Askeladd fields

21August2019

OCTIO Gravitude has surveyed this summer the Snøhvit, Albatross and Askeladd gas fields, operated by Equinor Energy AS. The survey featured the gWatch technology, the new generation of seabed gravity and subsidence instrumentation. The operation lasted for less than three weeks and was performed very efficiently and with no HSE incidents. In this type of surveys, the quality of both gravity and seafloor depth data

Gravitude surveys the Aasta Hansteen and Ormen Lange fields

27September2018

OCTIO Gravitude has just finished surveying the seabed at the Aasta Hansteen and Ormen Lange gas fields, operated by Equinor Energy AS and A/S Norske Shell respectively. The surveys featured the new gWatch technology, introducing for the first time the new generation of gravity sensors in an offshore application. OCTIO Gravitude’s technology allows measuring tiny changes in the gravitational field and deformations of the seabed
