geosteering

Geosteering is a technique used in oil and gas drilling to guide the drill bit accurately within underground rock formations. Using real-time data from sensors and measurements, engineers can adjust the drill's direction while drilling to stay within the targeted reservoir layer. This ensures optimal placement for extracting hydrocarbons efficiently, minimizes drilling risks, and maximizes production. Essentially, geosteering allows for precise navigation through complex underground geology, improving the effectiveness of the drilling process and reducing unnecessary exploration costs.
