The Indian national oil company ONGC has completed a pilot project for real-time operations on the Mumbai (Bombay) High North. Real time logging while drilling (LWD) geosteering data from Sperry-Sun’s LWD tool was streamed from an offshore rig to the ONGC’s ‘Third Eye Center’ (TEC), a 3D immersive visualization facility located at Vasudhara Bhavan, Mumbai. Real time data from the rig is transmitted through a WITSML 1.2 link into Paradigm’s Geolog geosteering module.
