Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Summary Measurement-while-drilling (MWD) information accurately defined gas, oil, and water in an offshore field. Basic MWD and wireline formation evaluation data compare favorably. A cost saving of $130, 000 was realized when MWD information was used instead of wireline data on one well. In the future, MWD logs may serve as the primary evaluation data on routine development wells in similar fields.
