At UNITED we have been developing geosteering and geomodeling software and technology for over 20 years. UNITED and SMART4D has been involved with over a 1000 horizontal wells, geosteering and providing consulting services for oil and gas exploration. SMART4D Geosteering Software has been developed to allow operators and exploration companies to geosteer their own wells.

Our geosteering software clients teams now manage the drilling programs and operations geology for resource plays following anywhere from 1 to 15 rigs at a time. Operators are seeing from 18% to 25% reduction on rig days, added accuracy and efficiency over what they were doing previously.

SMART4D and UNITED’s Services have been applied in most major resource plays in North America, such as the Permian and the Montney. Additionally, it has been used on wells in Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia.

SMART4D Geosteering Software makes you better equipped to more efficiently geosteer your wells in real-time using a robust 3D geological model that is updated while drilling to mitigate well placement risk and optimize well placement.

SMART4D 3D models use automated data collected through WITSML. The software successfully combines the real time geology interpretation changes while-drilling, leveraging directional driller tools and sensors to provide an optimal well placement solution in a 3D environment.

SMART4D Providing Clear Benefits

We have created SMART4D to allow you to dynamically and confidently geosteer toward the target. In this post we highlight the benefits of geosteering with SMART4D and using the 3D model approach.

3D Model for Geosteering

Modeling geology in 3D for geosteering in tandem with optimized waypoints, designed to remain in the sweet spot of drilling targets has proven to improve geosteering results.

Geosteering and Well Placement

Modelling drainage volume of wells (SRVs) is an important Reservoir Engineering step that can reduce the risk of well placement in low pressure areas associated with legacy vertical and newer horizontal wells and their fracs. For both well planning and geosteering applications.

How Does Geosteering Work

SMART4D is a predictive learning model approach, by incorporating available geological and geophysical datasets and in real-time building 3D models.
