AbstractThe development of a wired composite tubing enables the continuous acquisition and transmission of petrophysical and drilling dynamics data during all phases of a drilling operation. This capability results in logging passes for each bit trip throughout the life of the well. The operator can then correlate and compare the data in real-time to better understand the borehole stability. This paper presents two case studies that illustrate the value of real-time time-lapse logging to a drilling operation.
