Current Challenges in Seismic Drilling Operations: A New Perspective for Petroleum Industries
The location of the well is usually selected with the help of surface seismic images. It can be helpful to know the position of the drill relative to the seismic section when starting underground drilling. However, obtaining this information is based on the fact that the vertical axis of the seismic section is in terms of distance. Seismicity during drilling operations provides valuable solutions to overcome many limitations in conventional well seismography. Nevertheless, so far, it has not succeeded in gaining a significant share of the market. Recent advances have provided new opportunities for this technique. As we know, revising the prediction of the results or data of a well is only possible when the drilling work of the well has been completed. Indeed, the new information and conclusions obtained from the revision of the information will be considered too late, and there is no possibility of changing the drilling performance. In this study, techniques are discussed in which the information obtained during drilling can affect the performance and drilling path. The project also presents the principles of seismic drilling and its application potential and examines the progress made so far and how new research initiatives are reviving enthusiasm for the technique
