What We Do
Horizontal Solutions International provides exploration and production companies the knowledge, experience and technology they need to keep their horizontal wellbores on target. Our geo-navigation / geosteering consulting services, reporting services, geologic expertise and geo-navigation methodology are unmatched in the horizontal drilling industry. No one offers more accurate geo-navigational / geosteering services to maximize oil and gas production. Discover what the most successful oil and gas exploration and production companies know. Where HSI leads, success follows.
With several decades of combined petroleum geology experience and a large geographic area of geologic expertise, our services are perfect for companies or investors who want to get the most out of their mineral rights through accurately monitored horizontal drilling. Our staff includes some of the most experienced individuals operating in the horizontal drilling industry.
With our unique software and experience, we can provide you with the most accurate way to track your well's current stratigraphic position. If you are in need of daily evaluation of the MWD Gamma Ray for a drilling horizontal well, or an interpretation for an existing wellbore, we can provide you with everything you need to ensure your well spends the maximum time in the target zone.
Explore the possibilities with HSI, and you will soon be getting more out of your wells than you ever thought possible. Call us to let us show you how we make you money.
WHY GEO-NAVIGATE A HORIZONTAL WELL?
THE QUESTIONS:
- How will geo-navigating/geosteering a horizontal wellbore save drilling dollars?
- What can be learned from a horizontal wellbore about the geology in an area that we don’t already know from vertical wells and seismic?
- Are there “sweet spots” we should target?
- How can Post Drill Analysis of horizontal Wellbores that have already been drilled improve the performance of new wells?
- How do we use the geologic interpretation of data from a horizontal well to improve completions?
BENEFITS:
GEOSTEERING IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST STAYING IN ZONE
IT’S ABOUT SAVING DRILLING DOLLARS. How?
- Landing the curve into the correct stratigraphic position the first time
- Avoid Drilling Hazards (i.e. slow drilling zones)
- Prevention of sidetracks due to faults cut in the build section and anomalous dips through the build section
- The TSP Method shows you all the warts. Details that can be seen in no other way. (Small faults, anomalous dips, stratigraphic variation)
- Identifying Karsted and Faulted areas
- The only way to identify “sweet spots” in the formation is to know which section each well drilled
- Post Drill analysis of poor wells can reveal re-drill opportunities
- Post Drill analysis of excellent performers may identify “sweet spots” within the reservoir
- Will give the operator a better understanding of reservoir performance versus reservoir placement
- Avoid completion across faulted zones that may:
Create a pathway for water encroachment
Create a permeable zone that may reduce effectiveness of FRAC
Proper placement of wellbore within the section will help in FRAC containment and keep the wellbore away from possible water sources
