A novel 6.75-in. logging-while-drilling (LWD) geochemical tool has been developed for accurate lithology, mineralogy, well-placement, and geosteering applications in complex reservoirs. This LWD tool uses capture and inelastic gamma rays induced by a pulsed-neutron generator to provide real-time formation elemental and mineralogical concentrations and sigma and direct carbon measurements.
Tool Description
General Design. The LWD tool is available in a 6.75-in. nominal size.
