Professional Geosteering Capabilities Without a Long-Term Software Commitment

Directional drilling teams need reliable tools to understand where a wellbore is positioned and how geological conditions are changing in real time. Purchasing and maintaining specialized software, however, may not be the right fit for every project or organization.

Selman Geo Services offers Geosteering Software Rental Services through EarthSteer™, our powerful, user-friendly platform designed for real-time well placement and trajectory monitoring.

EarthSteer™ gives operators, geologists, and drilling teams access to advanced geosteering functionality while allowing them to manage interpretation and operational decisions in-house. The rental model provides the flexibility to use professional software when it is needed without making a permanent software investment.

What Is Geosteering Software?

Geosteering software helps drilling teams combine directional survey information, geological measurements, and formation models to evaluate a wellbore’s position relative to a target interval.

As new data is received, the software allows users to update interpretations, monitor trajectory changes, correlate formations, and visualize the well path. This supports better-informed decisions during landing and lateral drilling.

Directional Drilling Software is especially valuable in horizontal wells where the target interval may be narrow, structurally complex, or difficult to follow using a static pre-drill model alone.

Why Rent Geosteering Software?

Not every operator needs to purchase a permanent geosteering platform. A rental model provides access to advanced capabilities for a specific well, drilling campaign, or period of increased activity.

Software rental may be a practical solution for teams that:

  • Need geosteering tools for a limited project
  • Want to maintain interpretation in-house
  • Prefer predictable project-based software costs
  • Need additional capacity during a drilling campaign
  • Want to evaluate a platform before a larger commitment
  • Require flexible access for multiple well programs
  • Need a professional solution without long-term licensing

This flexibility allows operators to match software access with actual operational demand.

Introducing EarthSteer™

EarthSteer™ is Selman Geo Services’ geosteering platform for teams that want direct control over well-placement interpretation. It is designed to help users organize drilling data, visualize trajectory, track formation changes, and update geological interpretations as the well progresses.

The platform supports a practical geosteering workflow by bringing important directional and geological information into one environment.

EarthSteer™ is built to be powerful enough for complex drilling projects while remaining approachable for geologists and technical teams that need a clear, efficient interface.

Real-Time Geosteering and Well Trajectory Monitoring

EarthSteer™ helps teams monitor directional progress as new drilling information becomes available. Instead of relying only on a static plan, users can compare the current well path with the target formation and adjust their interpretation throughout the operation.

  • Directional survey visualization
  • Measured-depth and true-vertical-depth tracking
  • Well trajectory updates
  • Target-window monitoring
  • Formation correlation
  • Landing and lateral analysis
  • Structural interpretation updates
  • Real-time geological decision support

Bring Geological and Directional Data Together

Effective geosteering depends on understanding how multiple data sources relate to one another. EarthSteer™ helps users evaluate well trajectory alongside the geological information available for the project.

Depending on the drilling program and available integrations, teams may work with:

  • Directional surveys
  • Gamma ray measurements
  • Measured depth and true vertical depth
  • Rate-of-penetration trends
  • Mud logging information
  • Gas data
  • Offset-well correlations
  • Pre-drill geological models

Bringing these inputs together supports a more complete understanding of the wellbore’s current position and the geological conditions being encountered.

Improve Well Placement and Reservoir Contact

The objective of geosteering is to maximize the amount of wellbore positioned within the preferred target interval. When a well drifts outside that interval, reservoir contact and production potential may be reduced.

EarthSteer™ helps in-house teams evaluate:

  • Current position relative to formation boundaries
  • Changes in structural dip
  • Movement toward the top or bottom of the target
  • Differences between the model and actual well data
  • Potential effects of trajectory adjustments
  • Landing and lateral placement performance

This supports more deliberate and informed decisions throughout the directional drilling process.

Designed for Practical In-House Use

A geosteering platform must be technically capable without creating unnecessary complexity for the people using it. EarthSteer™ is designed around a practical workflow that allows geologists and technical teams to focus on interpretation and well placement.

The software’s user-friendly approach helps teams organize project data, update interpretations, communicate findings, and maintain a consistent view of the well throughout the operation.

Maintain Control of Your Geosteering Process

Some operators prefer to keep geosteering interpretation within their own geological or drilling team. EarthSteer™ supports this model by providing the software environment needed to manage trajectory analysis and formation interpretation internally.

In-house control can help teams:

  • Apply their own geological knowledge
  • Maintain direct communication with directional drillers
  • Use internal reporting and approval workflows
  • Respond quickly to changing well conditions
  • Retain project interpretation within the organization
  • Build internal geosteering experience

Selman Geo Services can also provide geological consulting or reporting support when additional expertise is needed.

Flexible Support for Your Team

EarthSteer™ software rental can be used as a stand-alone in-house tool or combined with Selman’s broader Geosteering Services, Geosteering Reporting, mud logging, and geological consulting capabilities.
