MagTrak™
MagTrak™ is a logging while drilling (LWD) tool that provides a comprehensive range of magnetic resonance answer products, including formation porosity, bound fluid volume, free fluid volume, permeability, hydrocarbon detection, and T1 & T2 distribution spectrums. The porosity measurement is not dependent on formation lithology and being based upon magnetic resonance MR technology the service does not require a radioactive source. The service is available as a standard 6 ¾ in. collar-based tool, fully combinable with rotary steerable systems such as AutoTrak, and can be utilized in borehole diameters from 8 3/8 in. to 9 7/8 in.
MagTrak™ is capable of delivering real-time T2 distributions, enabling the delivery of advanced answer products while drilling. These real-time answers empower the asset team to become more influential in the decision making process to optimize wellsite efficiency, safety, and ultimately hydrocarbon recovery. Novel real-time applications and benefits include identifying potential borehole problems by clay typing, earlier input to improve perforation programs based on permeability index, identifying missed pay in low resistivity formations, geosteering into production "sweet-spots,” and obtaining high quality data in high-risk wells.
