Product Overview
Overview
Note: In early 2020 BHL formally split the geosteering software and geosteering consulting businesses into: BHL Boresight and BHL Consulting, respectively.
BHL Boresight provides a geosteering software package which has been built around the deep domain expertise of the founders of the company. The software package has two main modules - Geosteering and Completions Planner.
The Geosteering Module focuses on the execution of the wellbore and placement of the well. They are able to integrate data collected during the drilling of the well to provide continuous forward advancement of the plan. In the planning stage of the well, it can be used pre-drill to identify geohazards and refine the target horizons by integrating disparate subsurface and offset well data.
The Completions Planner Module allows you to load and visualize all of the data collected during the drilling of the well to better understand the formation characteristics at a very granular level, allowing the Completions team to integrate this information into their design process with minimal time lag. The data can also be used with historical data to evaluate the success of prior well placements/completion designs.
Business Model
Currently offering a lifetime license option.
Technology Innovations
The company heavily leverages the domain expertise of the team members and the ability to integrate data from many of the common sources at surface and acquired during drilling.
Applications
The software is primarily being used in the steering of horizontal wells in North America, but has potential applications in any complex or deviated wellbore.
