The industry standard for paralleling wellbores
Talk to an expertThe MGT™ Magnetic Guidance Tool is an active magnetic ranging solution that allows parallel wells to be drilled within highly accurate separation tolerances. The greater survey accuracy enhances safe and efficient placement of two or more wellbores within tight separation tolerances.
The MGT service, comprising a downhole electromagnetic source and an MWD service, generates a known magnetic field that is read by the MWD service with an accuracy of less than 5 percent of the separation distance. In a SAGD application, this equates to a wellbore position accuracy of less than a foot from the reference well and results in well pairs that are vertically aligned and at a fixed distance apart. For infill drilling and collision avoidance, operators can place wells in tighter proximities to one another with greater certainty than traditional survey methods.
The MGT service and the RMRS™ Rotary magnet ranging system are used to drill the majority of SAGD pairs worldwide, equating to over 3,000 well pairs.
The Aurora™ surface-access magnetic ranging service provides accurate well placement in SAGD applications without downhole intervention.
WellSpot™ active magnetic-ranging systems use precise sensors to provide data for multiple drilling applications.
The Passive Magnetic Ranging (PMR) service utilizes the remnant magnetic fields on target well tubulars to provide a distance and direction between wellbores.
The RMRS™ rotary magnet ranging system provides active magnetic ranging to accurately determine the position of nearby wellbores and reduce survey errors.
