Managed Geosteering Services

Geosteering Reporting Services for Accurate Well Placement and Better Drilling Decisions

Selman Geo Services delivers real-time geological reporting, formation interpretation, and well placement support that helps operators maximize reservoir exposure, reduce drilling uncertainty, and improve overall well performance by using our state-of-the-art software, EarthSteer.

Professional Geological Interpretation From Landing Through Total Depth

Experienced Geosteering Support for Every Directional Well

Directional and horizontal drilling require constant coordination between geological interpretation and wellbore placement. Small deviations can reduce reservoir contact, increase drilling time, and affect long-term well performance.

Selman Geo Services provides professional Geosteering Reporting Services that give operators, engineers, and directional drilling teams a consistent geological perspective throughout the operation. We evaluate incoming real-time drilling data, track formation changes, and communicate clear well-placement guidance.

Our objective is to help maintain the wellbore within the intended target interval, improve drilling efficiency, and navigate complex formations with greater confidence.

What Are Geosteering Reporting Services?

Geosteering uses real-time geological and directional drilling information to guide a wellbore through a target formation. Selman documents each interpretation in a clear, usable format that may include formation correlation, target-window position, structural observations, directional trends, landing analysis, and well-placement recommendations.

Geological Interpretation

Continuous evaluation of formation response, markers, boundaries, dip changes, and structural trends.

Formation Correlation

Correlation of active-well data with offset wells, modeled horizons, and expected stratigraphic relationships.

Well Position Tracking

Tracking the wellbore relative to the target window, formation top, base, and interpreted boundaries.

Real-Time Reporting

Timely reporting that keeps geologists, engineers, and directional drillers aligned.

Reservoir Mapping

Updated geological context that supports reservoir navigation and lateral placement.

Drilling Optimization

Actionable interpretation that helps reduce unnecessary corrections, delays, and nonproductive time.

Our Structured Geosteering Reporting Workflow

From incoming drilling information to final client deliverables, Selman follows a consistent workflow designed to support timely interpretation and clear operational communication.

1. Data Acquisition

LWD, MWD, mud logging, survey, gamma-ray, and offset-well information.

2. Geological Analysis

Review incoming measurements and identify meaningful formation changes.

3. Formation Correlation

Compare the active well with offset wells and interpreted horizons.

4. Real-Time Interpretation

Update formation picks, structural understanding, and target relationships.

5. Placement Guidance

Communicate practical observations that support directional decisions.

6. Final Reporting

Deliver organized daily records, logs, summaries, and final geological reports.

Real-Time Geological Interpretation

Our geologists analyze the latest drilling information as it becomes available. The interpretation process may include:

  • Formation-top and marker identification
  • Lithology and gamma-ray response evaluation
  • Dip and structural trend recognition
  • Fault, rollover, and unexpected boundary identification
  • Target-window tracking
  • Landing and lateral position assessment

This real-time geosteering support gives the drilling team a current geological framework rather than relying only on the original pre-drill model.

Formation Correlation and Structural Interpretation

Formation correlation connects the active well to nearby offset wells and the expected geological framework. Selman evaluates changes in log character, stratigraphic markers, formation thickness, and structural position to keep the interpretation current.

When actual drilling results differ from the original geological model, our reporting clearly documents the revised interpretation. This helps the team understand whether the well is approaching a boundary, crossing a structural feature, or moving away from the planned reservoir interval.

Well Trajectory Monitoring

Planned, actual and projected trajectory information is reviewed relative to geological targets, landing zones and interpreted formation boundaries.

  • Review measured depth and TVD
  • Monitor inclination and azimuth
  • Evaluate target-window position
  • Support directional planning and communication

Well Placement Optimization

Accurate geological reporting gives engineers, geologists, directional drillers, and decision-makers a shared understanding of the well’s current position and the geological conditions ahead.

Maximize Reservoir Contact

Maintain greater exposure to the productive interval.

Reduce Nonproductive Drilling

Identify changes early and minimize avoidable drilling time.

Optimize Lateral Placement

Support wellbore positioning throughout the horizontal section.

Improve Production Potential

Use geological context to protect the planned reservoir objective.

Geosteering Reporting Deliverables

Deliverables are tailored to the operator’s workflow and may be supplied as digital reports, PDFs, visual logs, interpretation summaries, and final well packages.

Daily Geosteering Reports

Clear summaries of current position, interpretation, operational changes, and notable geological observations.

Structural Cross Sections

Cross-sectional views illustrating the well path relative to interpreted formations and boundaries.

Correlation Panels

Side-by-side comparisons between the active well, offsets, and interpreted stratigraphic markers.

Trajectory Reports

Well-position and survey information organized for technical review and decision support.

Final Well Reports

A consolidated geological record suitable for post-well analysis and future planning.
