GVERSE Websteering

GVERSE® WebSteering is specifically designed to help geoscientists' geosteer horizontal wells in thin pay zones and to direct the drill bit in real time.

It is the only web browser based geosteering application in the industry that delivers optimal well placement with simple data loading and full integration with GeoGraphix. GVERSE® WebSteering installs in the web browser like a plugin and then it's simple to load curve and survey data from the rig, add type logs and subsurface grids from GeoGraphix®, and start steering within minutes. At any point, data can be sent back to GeoGraphix for further analysis using GeoGraphix's feature-rich suite of tools. GVERSE® WebSteering runs even when disconnected from your corporate network so whether you are in the office or working remotely, you can define your target surface and send updated drilling targets to the rig.

GVERSE® WebSteering is a complementary tool for GeoGraphix users who can sync their interpretations on-the-fly with their GeoGraphix projects and update their target surface in smartSTRAT®** . This application lets you stay ahead of the drill bit with real-time information accessible from anywhere.

The GVERSE WebSteering software offers you the following benefits:

Flexible

Geosteer wells in the office, at home, or in the field.

Simple

Load LWD and survey data by dragging and dropping or by connecting to a WITSML server. Data are saved into LMKR GeoGraphix projects with a single button click.

Integrated

Select type logs and gridded surfaces from GeoGraphix and send results back to GeoGraphix to model more accurate target surfaces.

 

On the Go Horizontal Well Correlation and Geosteering

  • Web-based software is designed to work when it is connected to a GeoGraphix server as well as when it is not.
  • Simple and easy to use approach for horizontal well correlation and geosteering.
  • View the geology of the target surface and the geometry of wellbore path.


Real time data Integration

  • Utilize real time data for horizontal well correlation and geosteering from WITSML.
  • Send drilling parameters to the rig on the fly
  • Share results by sending a saved interpretation to other geologists for viewing in their web browser.


Fast Data Loading and Striking Presentation

  • Simple data loading by dragging and dropping LWD data from LAS files or MS Excel spreadsheets.
  • Convert a LAS file into a type log.
  • Graphical display with full zooming capabilities and on-the-fly update of graphs including LWD, wellbore directional survey data and type log.
  • Customizable display.


Technical Geosteering

  • Technical Geosteering based on Relative Stratigraphic Depth
  • Automatic calculation of True Vertical Depth (TVD), Northing, Easting and Vertical Sections from MD, Inclination and Azimuth.
  • Directional survey calculations and related minimum-curvature interpolations for geosteering and graphing.


Integration with LMKR GeoGraphix

  • Integrates with GeoGraphix.
  • Real time data from WITSML data providers loaded into GeoGraphix
  • Geosteered segments exported back into GeoGraphix.
