Seismic while drilling keeps bit turning to right while acquiring key real-time data

UNDER DEVELOPMENT since 1988 and commercialized in 2003, the Schlumberger seismicVISION seismicwhile-drilling service (SWD) enables operators to make seismic measurements during the drilling of the well. Operators can thus reduce uncertainty, optimize drilling decisions and improve safety. Previously, in most environments, this meant stopping the drilling process and running a wireline survey.
