Overview:

• Vibration sensors on offset wells

• Establish baseline “drilling” vibration

• Drill ahead, measuring offset well vibration

• Log changes in vibration relative to subject well

• Calculate “movement” away/towards offset wells

• Generate actual distance to generate RT TC plot

 

Test results

• Limited physical separation

• GWD main survey reference

• Conductor hammered to refusal

• Baseline vibration taken with pumps on

 

Conductor driving

• Measured whilst driving conductor

• Drive vs refusal response

• Can refusal be predicted?
