SLB introduced NovoSphere™, the industry’s only sourceless formation evaluation logging-while-drilling (LWD) service. This innovative technology provides accurate formation density and porosity measurements for drilling without the use of a chemical radioactive source.
The technology behind the NovoSphere service includes advanced hardware and digital modeling capabilities that provide sourceless density measurement for enhanced measurement precision and accuracy at an extended range of densities across various lithologies.
The compact design of the technology solution integrates critical measurements, such as porosity, elemental capture spectroscopy, sigma, array resistivity and dual ultrasonic caliper, within a short 25-foot collar — making it a one-stop solution for all petrophysical measurements near to the bit.
