GVR Applications
LWD laterolog resistivity for WBM 4 Depths of investigation for FE Images for facies and structural analysis Azimuthal resistivity for FE Bit resistivity steering and geostopping Azimuthal GR and resistivity for geosteering
Propagation - the Good and the Bad
Relatively deep depth of investigation Will work in non-conductive bore holes Multiple Phase and Attenuation measurements Relatively poor vertical resolution Non-directional measurement Strongly affected by high-angle effects
Laterolog - the Good and the Bad
Excellent vertical resolution Can produce images for structure analysis Azimuthal measurement Measure point can be very close to (at) the bit Very little high-angle effects Will not work in non-conductive bore holes Relatively shallow depth of investigation

VISION LWD Services Overview
MWD Components
Real-time Mud Pulse Telemetry System
Real Time Data Transmission
Real-time Surveys for Directional Control
Inclination, azimuth, toolface
Real-time Drilling Mechanics data for Drilling Optimisation and Safety including:
Weight-on-Bit, Downhole Torque-at-Bit, APWD
MWD Telemetry Systems
A hydraulic poppet valve momentarily restricts the flow of mud to generate an increase in pressure Controlled valve vents mud briefly to the annulus, decreasing the pressure Rotary valve (siren) restricts the mud flow to create a modulating positive pressure wave
VISION Telemetry
Flexible data frame format New standard for data rate Two-way communication saves trips World record transmission depth 38,400 ft
LWD Real Time, In Time
The highest data rates in the industry mean you get the data you need, when you need it.
The Old Way The New Way
Why put up with a minimal suite of poor quality logs in real time?
Why control the drilling to get good log data? When you can have a Wireline-Quality logging suite in real-time?
