Wellbore Quality – Measurements, Computations, and Models

Tuesday, 4 March
Room 2
Technical Session
This session focuses on the quality of the borehole as the result of the wellbore construction process. New technologies, methods, and mathematical models provide new information on the characteristics of the borehole that allows to visualize and quantify different levels of tortuosity and their implications for running casing and BHA components.
