Pathfinder Zone Inclination&Gamma
Introduction
The PZIG tool is an instrumented sub that operates directly above thedrill bit to provide real-time inclination and gamma ray measurements.These measurements are used to help determine well path placement anddetermine position real-time while drilling. The PZIG sub is an accurate,cost effective geosteering solution whether drilling for optimum reservoir drainage, setting casing, build rates, or just to determine position realtimewhile drilling.
Features
• Inclination measurements situated at the bit
• Natural Gamma Ray measurements situated at the bit
• Compatible with any positive displacement motor or rotary steerable
• Compatible with all mud types
• Wireless electromagnetic “short-hop” communication between upper and lower subs with data transmitted real-time via PathFinder MWD system
• Stand alone, battery operated electronics
• Communicates during pumps off and is downhole programmable
Benefits
• Optimal well placement in reservoirs
• Helps drill better well paths for accelerated production
• Reduced well tortuosity and dogleg severity
• Early bed boundary detection
Applications
• Real-time steering within the reservoir or zone of interest
• Horizontal, ERD, and directional drilling
• Accurately steering within formations with dipping beds
• Casing point selection by detecting formation changes at the bit
