5 SonicScope Service Cement evaluation service The cement evaluation component of the SonicScope service was developed to address the industry s need for well integrity assessment while reducing well construction costs. The two parts of the SonicScope service, cement detection and cement bond evaluation, enable rapid assessment of the cementing operation outcome and increase confidence before drilling out the shoe. SonicScope Service combines high-quality monopole and quadrupole measurements for all hole sizes. Drill with confidence. 1
6 2 The SonicScope service offers a variety of logs and plots that enables a thorough quality-control process for data confidence.
7 Real-time wellbore stability By allowing real-time mud-weight window management, the SonicScope service helps you manage wellbore stability while avoiding kicks and losses, reducing stuck pipe risk, and minimizing nonproductive time. This evaluation, independent of formation temperature and salinity effects, helps you properly evaluate the pore pressure and fracture gradient so that the mud-weight window can be adjusted to mitigate drilling risks. Real-time sonic-to-seismic tie The SonicScope service s robust real-time compressional data can be used to build a synthetic seismogram that reduces well position uncertainty. Placing the bit on the surface seismic map enables you to make critical geosteering, landing, and geostopping decisions while drilling. Real-time petrophysical evaluation Robust compressional and shear measurements can help identify gas presence and estimate porosity without using radioactive sources that require complex logistics and added risk. This makes the SonicScope service particularly advantageous in carbonate reservoirs because it only responds to interconnected porosity. Completions optimization A unique firing mode enables Stoneley wave acquisition while drilling, before any washout can develop. The Stoneley wave is sensitive to open, permeable fractures intersecting the wellbore along with formation fluid mobility and formation shear slowness. Integrating Stoneley measurements allows an accurate interpretation of reservoir quality, geology, fracture network, and rock mechanics, helping you optimize completions to maximize production potential. 3
8 The SonicScope service computes real-time and recorded compressional and shear (P&S) data in both fast and slow formations. Comprehensive data quality control To reduce uncertainties with data, the SonicScope service offers a variety of logs and plots as part of a thorough quality-control process, enabling operators to evaluate data from the acquisition of waveforms to the computed compressional and shear data.

10 Case Studies SonicScope Service Enables Reliable Acoustic Data Acquisition in Complex Appraisal Well, Northern Australian Basin Obtain high-quality LWD measurements in challenging appraisal wells In a field in the Northern Australian basin, the upper formations consist of soft, unconsolidated sediments, while deeper zones pose drilling challenges such as reactive shale, circulation losses, and stick/slip. In previous wells, these attributes led to high risk of wellbore instability, BHA damage, stuck pipe, and more. An operator planned to drill and evaluate an appraisal well. With limited evaluation data from the formations in the upper sections, the operator wanted to acquire high-quality LWD acoustic measurements that would reduce uncertainty and mitigate overall operational risk. Deliver accurate, real-time acoustic measurements Schlumberger recommended using the SonicScope multipole sonic-while-drilling service in the 9 tool size with the arcvision* array resistivity compensated service in the 16-in section. The SonicScope service delivers robust compressional, shear, and Stoneley wave data for accurate pore pressure and fracture gradient estimates, and the arcvision service provides real-time resistivity, gamma ray, inclination, and annular pressure-while-drilling measurements. 6

This comparison helped the operator to understand the limitations of the borehole geomechanics, ensuring optimal well path designs for future development wells and, ultimately, improving project economics
12 Case Studies Offshore Operator Avoids Potential Kick, Improves Depth Control with Real-Time Acoustic Data, Gulf of Mexico Mitigate exploration drilling challenges in the Gulf of Mexico An operator was running an appraisal campaign in the GOM. While resistivity was previously the only available measurement for predicting pore pressure due to the large hole size in the shallow section, estimates from sonic data had proved more precise. The operator needed to acquire high-quality data to eliminate operational gaps while meeting directional and other drilling objectives. Deploy BHA with LWD technology to achieve directional drilling and geological objectives Because the planned well path would cross a sand layer, it was important to land the 17 7/8-in shoe carefully and use real-time modeling to avoid the pressure ramp and mitigate risk. Before drilling, Schlumberger recommended that the operator deploy the SonicScope service, paired with the arcvision array resistivity compensated service, across the 26-in, 18 1/8-in 21-in, and 16 1/2-in 19-in sections to capture high-quality LWD measurements. This would be the first time the service was run in the 26-in section worldwide. Operations commenced per the predrill plan, and the operator tracked the location of the anticipated pore pressure ramp in real time. 8
13 Attenuation Resistivity 4 in.2 ohm.m Prevented potential kick and avoided setting casing in known pressure ramp The use of the SonicScope service enabled an accurate seismic tie-in to a nearby well, which showed a possible 6-ft depth discrepancy in the pressure ramp s location. With this information, the operator decided to set the 17 7/8-in casing ft shallower to avoid drilling into the pressure ramp. The high-resolution seismic tie, coupled with the real-time pore pressure prediction, enabled the operator to prevent a potential kick situation near the 17 7/8-in shoe, saving an estimated USD, to 3, in drilling costs. The operator used the high-quality acoustic measurements obtained using the SonicScope service to help confirm predrill models and avoid a potential kick through better depth control. The multipole sonic-while-drilling capabilities of the SonicScope service provided results that exceeded those achieved using alternative technologies in comparable situations.

14 Case Studies Operator Uses Multipole Sonic-While-Drilling Service to Drill Complex, Overpressured Shale Diapir Shale formation with limited offset data While drilling a shallow-water well offshore China, an operator needed to better understand the complex, high-pressure formation to successfully drill the 8 1/2-in section with 31.8 deviation in a high stick/slip environment. Without extensive data from a predefined model or offset wells, real-time pore pressure monitoring and seismic tie-in would provide the necessary information to help the operator drill the well and mitigate risk. By using advanced multipole sonic-while-drilling technologies that obtain robust real-time and recorded measurements, the operator could more successfully drill while obtaining insight for future wells. Multipole sonic data while drilling Schlumberger recommended using the SonicScope service, which would enable more confident decisions while drilling, help mitigate risk, and save drilling days and costs. High-quality measurements This operation marked the first time that the SonicScope 67 service was run in China. Using the service, the operator achieved drilling objectives, monitoring pore pressure in real time despite the high stick/slip risk in the shale formation. Using real-time sonic and density logs, high-quality synthetics were generated for accurate surface-to-seismic correlation in the time-depth domain. 1

16 Case Studies Dual-Reamer BHA Paired With SonicScope Service Saves Operator Logging and Reaming Runs Efficiently develop ultradeepwater wells An NOC planned to drill wells in an exploration campaign in the Gulf of Mexico. Successfully drilling and evaluating ultradeepwater wells is a challenging process involving narrower mud-weight windows, shallow geohazards, and seismic velocity uncertainties affecting pore pressure modeling. The operator needed to find an LWD solution that effectively mitigated these risks and enabled setting the casing at the correct depth. Customize BHA to acquire quality data The operator and Schlumberger collaborated to develop a compact BHA configuration that included the SonicScope and a dual-reamer design. The SonicScope service in the 82 tool size would be placed closer to the bit to enable earlier detection of drilling hazards. Additionally, the shorter BHA would allow drilling a short pilot hole and placing casing at the needed depth. Meet demanding drilling objectives and save 2 days The innovative BHA configuration saved 2 days of rig time by eliminating the need for additional logging and reaming. The quality log data provided by the SonicScope service was used to successfully drill the well and set the casing at the correct depth. The sonic data was used for real-time geomechanics and monitoring of the wells. 12

18 Case Studies Full LWD Suite Optimizes Completion Design in High-Angle Offshore Wells Improve production and reduce costs An operator was drilling offshore shallow wells 4,-m long with a horizontal section exceeding 3, m. The company worked closely with Schlumberger to improve production and minimize the costs associated with logging the long horizontal sections. A permanent openhole completion system was selected to enable placing multiple fracturing treatments in a single pumping operation, but the fracturing strategy using logs from nearby pilot or horizontal wells had not been adequate to optimize completion placement selection and to enhance the fracturing design. Drilling a vertical pilot well followed by target layer measurement of reservoir properties was not an option due to economic constraints. Acquire and interpret high-quality data The operator geosteered the well using the PowerDrive X6* rotary steerable system and the PeriScope* bed boundary mapping service while recording triple-combo information for petrophysics; compressional and shear data for rock mechanics; and Stoneley data and images for fracture evaluation. LWD services included the SonicScope service, adnvision* azimuthal density neutron service, and StethoScope* formation pressure-while-drilling service. The data were analyzed by Schlumberger experts, providing petrophysical evaluation (effective porosity, permeability, and oil/water contact location); stress variations for fracturing modeling and design; caliper variations for optimal packer setup; and open permeable fracture location to enhance production and to avoid the risk of draining water. The interpreted data were used to optimize the position of each of the five stages to maximize future production. 14
19 Optimized completion design More than 3, m of data were recorded in one run and interpreted in less than 24 h to optimize the completions design using data acquired along the lateral section. A similar workflow is now being implemented on a well-to-well basis where multistage hydraulic fracturing is planned to enhance hydrocarbon production. The addition of rock mechanics information was crucial to better predict the fracture height and to avoid fracturing the water zone. The information was supported by a 3D mechanical earth model built using the Petrel* E&P software platform, which provided real-time data interpretation and helped maximize production. Evaluation of rock mechanics over the lateral section based on sonic compressional and shear information. These properties are displayed in color from low stress (blue) to high stress (red). Stoneley data for fracture analysis shows several strong reflections interpreted as open permeable fractures. Completion design was changed based on the knowledge of fracture location and the nature of the fluid contained. 1
