Abstract

The reservoir in the B# oil region of Wuqi oilfield is relatively single, and in recent years, horizontal wells have been used for large-scale development due to ground constraints and other factors. In order to better improve the efficiency of geologic steering of horizontal wells and the drilling ratio of an oil reservoir, the preliminary 3D geological model is established, and the geological model is continuously revised by applying the drilling gamma, which combines the model and geologic steering to optimize the trajectory of horizontal wells and improve the accuracy of window entry to ensure the efficient and stable production of horizontal wells in the later stage. By applying 3D geological modeling and geologic steering technology to HW8 well, the drilling ratio of this well reached 91.1%, and the well was put into production by staged fracturing with a quick-drilling bridge plug, with good development effect. It is of important guidance and reference for future horizontal well development deployment and geologic steering in this area.
