Abstract: Previous HitSeismicNext Hit-While-Drilling in Kuwait - Results and Applications

KHALED, O. S, A.M. AI-ATEEQI, A. JAMES, and R. MEEHAN


During early 1994, KOC and Schlumberger completed an extensive study of the Previous HitSeismicNext Hit-While-Drilling technique in 2 development wells in the Raudhatain field of North Kuwait.

Previous HitSeismicNext Hit-While-Drilling records the energy radiated from a working drillbit (utilized as a Previous HitseismicNext Hit source), with receivers placed at the surface. This technology provides checkshot and look ahead VSP services at the wellsite, in real time and with no interference to the drilling process.

The result of the study is that the Previous HitSeismicTop-While-Drilling technique can work successfully in the Raudhatain Field.
