WINNER™

Well Interference Navigation & Ranging

The WINNER (Well Interference Navigation and Ranging) service is a cost effective method for well avoidance and relief well drilling. WINNER is a passive ranging technique that detects nearby and adjacent wells magnetic interference using conventional MWD tools transmitting raw magnetic data.

WINNER Output Data:

  • Distance, Tool Face and Direction to the adjacent well
  • 3-D image and projection of adjacent well
  • Real-time measurements while drilling
  • Real-time Confidence and Quality indicators

WINNER Benefits:

  • Improved economics of well avoidance
  • Well identification in multi-well environments
  • Minimize NPT: all data is while drilling, no wireline required
  • No special rig up required or surface into adjacent well
  • There are no operational restrictions e.g. formation resistivity
  • Simplified logistics
