Event:
Joe Large – Mojo Geological Consulting – Using a Portable Mass Spectrometer to Help Streamline Drilling Procedures
Biography: Joseph Large is Field Operations Manager for Mojo Geological Consulting. Overseeing the operation, interpretation and daily reporting of Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers units on drilling sites in the Powder River Basin. Joe is a 13-year veteran of wellsite geology, in the Rocky Mountain region, directly sitting or overseeing over 300 wells in Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. Joe was the President and partner of RPM Geologic from 2010 to 2015. He oversaw or directly performed work for Oasis Petroleum, Samson Resources, QEP, Slawson Energy and others. Joe is a native of Central Virginia, is an honorably discharged US Airforce veteran and has a Bachelor of Science in Geosciences from Virginia Tech where he was president of the Honors Fraternity. Abstract: Technology has always been the driving force in the oil field. Constant technological advances are allowing bits to drill ever faster and farther. Reservoir analysis and stimulation advances are making plays equitable today that 10 years ago would have been passed over. Advances in MWD and LWD tools allow teams to maximize exposure to target and drill smoother wells. Competition advances are allowing higher recovery percentages. Pay zone identification within a formation will enable maximum exposure of the wellbore to the “sweetspot”. Real time identification of porosities, fractures and faults in the well can help optimize completions and regional modeling. Ratios can be used to infer increases and decreases in water content, quality of hydrocarbons and fingerprint individual hydrocarbon sources. Compartmentalization techniques can be used to optimize geosteering and completion procedures, and “bit generated gases” can be used to infer whether low penetrations rates are due to damaged bits.
