Directional Drilling in Pleasanton, Texas
Directional drilling, MWD/LWD and well planning for Eagle Ford wells in Atascosa County and the counties south of San Antonio.
Geo Mag Technologies provides directional drilling services for Eagle Ford operators working out of Pleasanton, Texas. Atascosa County sits on the northern edge of the Eagle Ford trend, and Pleasanton is one of the towns from which drilling programs in Atascosa, Karnes, Wilson and McMullen counties are staged.
Geo Mag supplies the mud motors, MWD tool and complete bottom hole assembly required to drill a horizontal well, and plans the trajectory beforehand. The company is based in Broussard, Louisiana and is available for projects anywhere in the United States.

Directional work in the Eagle Ford trend
The Eagle Ford is a relatively thin, dipping shale that changes from an oil window in the north to condensate and dry gas as it deepens toward the south-west. Wells around Pleasanton are on the shallower, oilier end of that trend. Development is horizontal, from pads, with laterals landed in a narrow target interval that follows the dip of the formation.
Staying in that target is a geosteering problem before it is a drilling problem. Real-time gamma and resistivity on the lateral let the well be steered on formation response rather than on a projected plan, and the pre-drill plan needs to account for the offset wells that now crowd the productive counties.

What Geo Mag brings to an Eagle Ford well
Geo Mag runs company-owned positive-pulse MWD tools that configure in the field with gamma, resistivity and PWD. The wave propagation resistivity sub gives wireline-like logs through mud-pulse telemetry and, in Geo Mag's words, allows geosteering in both water-based and oil-based mud.
Bico and Tomahawk mud motors, RSS, Key Drill drilling systems and complete BHA packages cover the drilling side. Well planning and technical consulting are offered alongside the drilling and measurement services, so the plan and the live formation data are read by the same team.

Systems relevant to this region
Positive-pulse MWD tool
Directional, gamma and resistivity configurations
The MWD tool is the instrument that tells the directional driller where the bit is and where it is heading. Survey and tool-face data come up the mud column as pressure pulses, so the trajectory can be corrected while drilling instead of after a trip.
Wave propagation resistivity (WPR) sub
Geosteering, correlation and wireline replacement
Propagation resistivity reads the formation around the bit in real time, so a lateral can be steered to stay in the target zone and casing points can be picked without waiting on a wireline run.
Polaris RDS logging system
Gamma and directional data logging with remote monitoring
The logging system is where surveys, gamma and drilling parameters become the well record: plots, LAS files and reports the operator keeps, and a live feed the office can watch without being on location.
