  • Publication number: 20150370934
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product utilize logging while drilling (LWD) data, e.g., structural data, formation property data, fluid contact data and/or structural dip data as may be derived from resistivity and/or other LWD data, to generate a locally enhanced reservoir model of a reservoir proximate a wellbore. The locally enhanced reservoir model, in turn, may be used to optimize the design of a completion for the wellbore, e.g., by optimizing the design of a flow control device incorporated into such a completion.

  • Publication number: 20110191028
    Abstract: A downhole measurement device includes one or more sensors configured to measure a parameter in a well; a plurality of memory tags for storing measurement data from the one or more sensors; and an ejection module configured to release one of the plurality of memory tags upon a predetermined condition. A method for monitoring a well includes deploying of a measurement device having one or more sensors and a plurality of memory tags into a wellbore; obtaining measurement data of the parameter using the one or more sensors; writing the measurement data to one of the plurality of memory tags; releasing the memory tag having the measurement data; allowing the memory tag having the measurement data to be carried by a flow in the wellbore uphole; reading the measurement data from the memory tag having the measurement data at a location remote from the downhole measurement device.
