A higher-resolution view of rock properties along the wellbore.
Drill2Frac’s RockMSE service provides valuable information about near-wellbore rock properties – and delivers higher ROI than traditional downhole data-acquisition methods.
Don’t settle for high-priced technologies and low-resolution data.
Microseismic readings, permanently deployed fiber-optic cable, core sampling, and downhole pressure gauges can be prohibitively costly, invasive and time-consuming.
And, while mechanical specific energy (MSE) data is often used as a less costly and invasive way to estimate near-wellbore rock properties, it doesn’t paint a very clear picture. That’s because the raw drilling data used to calculate MSE is loaded with noise caused by bit wear, geosteering effects and multiple other drilling dysfunctions.
RockMSE analysis delivers a superior solution.
Our proprietary process filters raw drilling data to remove drilling events, artifacts and noise. The result is a cost-conscious, noninvasive solution to help you achieve optimal well uniformity, improved cluster efficiency and increased production.
Using existing drilling data that’s gathered on every well, RockMSE analysis characterizes unconventional wellbores by:
- Identifying near-wellbore rock properties, wellbore heterogeneity, and localized depleted fractures
- Fine-tuning landing targets by showing detailed subsurface geology changes along the lateral
- Illustrating the effects of geology on fracture growth to optimize well spacing
- Adding resolution to existing rock data, such as cuttings analysis, gamma ray (GR) readings, mud-log lithology, and mud-log gases
RockMSE analysis provides high-resolution measurements of rock strength along the lateral. This data is used to understand the impacts of near-wellbore properties and to improve well performance.
