Real-Time Monitoring RMSReal-Time provides geoscientists and engineers with an integrated solution to monitor real-time drilling data within the 3D geological model. Combined with state-of-the-art RMS TM functionalities for target picking, trajectory planning and model update RMSReal-Time greatly improves the decision making process at the time of drilling. Real-time 3D Drilling Diagnosis and Rapid Model Updating Well planning and access to real-time data has been available in RMS for several years. However, the utilisation of the data has been further improved with the new real-time monitoring functionality now available with the RMSReal-Time module since 2009. Real-Time Monitoring using WITSML While drilling, real-time data from the rig containing information about the well path and the logs can be imported directly into RMS using the WITSML system. The real-time data can be co-visualised into multiple views in combination with elements of the geological model. Geosteering Diagnosis Panel with Alarm System The new Geosteering Diagnosis panel is an excellent tool to analyse the current position of the well and the properties of the rocks being drilled through relative to other data in the RMS project. This knowledge is then used to continuously adjust the drilling strategy. Any number of rules can be defined and alarms triggered when approaching objects like horizons, contacts, faults, targets or a log value. This makes monitoring the operations easier, and risk and errors can be drastically reduced. IN SUMMARY • Team collaboration is greatly improved when live log data is viewed in RMS together with the geological model. • Monitoring is made easy by the use of alarms. • Instant re-planning of the well path while monitoring drilled data in real-time. • Predict the log response while well is being drilled. • Using the Geosteering Diagnosis panel, risk is reduced by keeping errors under control thanks to alarms. Permanent monitoring of the proximity between the well and the objects in the model. • Comparing real-time log data with synthetic logs is a key factor in reducing uncertainty and improving wellbore placement. • Project to bit methods are available to allow for the accurate display of the bit position.
