resolution visualization systems to gain a better understanding of the subsurface structures. The GeoMorph system uses logging-while-drilling (LWD) data sent directly from the rig and enables experts to analyze unexpected results and update the geological model within minutes of penetration. “GeoMorph significantly enhanced geosteering efficiency, as an on-the-spot road map is created for maximum reservoir contact with pinpoint accuracy, " said Dr. Adel S. Al-Naji, manager of the Exploration Application Services Department. GeoMorph has been successfully applied in the Ghawar, Abqaiq, Qatif and other fields with significant bottom-line contribution. Saudi Aramco is the recognized leader in the technology, according to a latest news report carried by Saudi Aramco's web-site. The patent is the result of the combined effort of the inventors, the Intellectual Assets Management Group, the proponent departments, and Law to identify and protect the intellectual property of Saudi Aramco, the report said.
