• 10-15 years ago these technologies were not mature
or did not exist .
• Without them, shale gas production would be
impossible.
• Generates large volumes of data, needs significant
bandwidth to transmit this data
• Greatly enhanced operational efficiency and
effectiveness
• Enables real time operation control which leads to
increased productivity of oil and gas operations
New Technologies and Their Impact
Challenges
– The position and location of
the well needs to be very
precise.
– Drilling trace needs to be
very precise
• In the past, 10/16 wells
will be off
– six to 10 of the 16 wells per
pad sidetracked at least
once.
Solutions:
– Working together at the Calgary
RTOC, geoscientists and
engineers would be able to
visualize, analyze and interpret
reservoir and drilling data in real
time, constantly updating petro
physical models to guide the geo
steering process.
– In addition, because the data can
be viewed in real time from any
location, remote operation would
reduce the number of people on
location to help increase safety.
CASE 1: Real-Time Geosteering Delivers Precise
Horizontal Wellbore Placement in Heavy Oil Sands
Output of Real Time Operation
55 geo steered wells were
drilled with zero sidetracks, straighter wellbores,
and precise wellbore placement within 0.5 to 1 meter (1.6 to 3.3 feet) of the reservoir base.

reduced
by 40%
Challenges
– In bad conditions, idle time
could be as high as 40%.
– Complicated and difficult
conditions need more
collaboration
– Able to anticipate
underground situations.
Solutions
– Real Time Data
– Real Time Modelling
– Correlated NPT events with
geology
– Predictive operation
Case 2: Talisman RTOC
Well 1
Well 1 had numerous
wellbore stability
issues, sidetracked
five times, and was
then ABANDONED
halfway to TD.
Well 2
Well 2 terminated
at twice the depth
of the offset well,
came in 50 days
ahead of plan and
$20 million under
budget.
The Power of RTOC
Apart from 2 Km
• Reduced well planning cycle by factor of 100 in some
cases.
• Supported four wells delivered under time and under
budget in Shell E&P Europe.
• Repaid CAPEX to build the Aberdeen RTOC in the
first six months.
• Helped recover enough oil in one well to justify
RTOC costs for three years.

Users
Oil & Gas - 1200
“Well as you know we’re
currently using your 980 and
1200 systems throughout the
world. While the predominant
deployments (over 500) are in
the U.S. we also have systems in
Iraq, Western Siberia and
Canada, which would in my
opinion cover some of the
harshest environments. I’ve not
had any complaints or concerns
from the frigid region at all so I
have the utmost confidence in
your systems in that
environment.”
