he EcoScope* multifunction
LWD service
incorporates
decades of Schlumberger
experience in providing
quality measurements for productive
drilling. The EcoScope service
integrates a full suite of formation
evaluation, well placement, and
drilling optimization measurements
in a single collar to increase
operational efficiency, reduce risk,
and increase confidence in data
interpretation and calculations
of production and reserves.
Designed around a pulsed neutron
generator (PNG), the EcoScope
service uses technology developed
by Schlumberger and Japan Oil,
Gas and Metals National
Corporation. In addition to the suite
of resistivity, neutron porosity, and
azimuthal gamma ray and density
measurements, this service
provides the firstcommercial
LWD measurements of elemental
capture spectro scopy, neutron
gamma density, and sigma. Drilling
optimization measurements include
APWD Annular Pressure While
Drilling, caliper, and shock.
SAFER
The PNG used in the EcoScope
service allows generation of
neutrons on demand. This design
eliminates the need for an americium
beryllium (AmBe ) chemical source,
substantially reducing risk during
transportation and at the wellsite.
Measurement of formation density
without the side-mounted cesium
source is an option, making the
EcoScope service the first to offer
commercial LWD nuclear logging
without traditional chem ical sources.
FASTER
The EcoScope service integrates
multiple LWD sensors in a single
collar. This compact design reduces
the amount of rathole that must be
drilled to provide comprehensive
formation evaluation measurements.
Because there is only one collar, flat
time associated with making up and
breaking down the BHA is reduced.
Having fewer connections also
enhances BHA reliability.
The EcoScope services large
memory capacity allows recording
of 2 data points/ft at ROPs up to
450 ft/h. A high effective data
transmission rate, provided by the
TeleScope service and its Orion II
telemetry platform, ensures that the
full suite of EcoScope measurements
is available in real time to improve
decisions and mitigate risk.
SMARTER
The EcoScope service provides
more downhole information from
a single collar than any other
LWD service.
Dedicated internal diagnostic
elect ronics record information
used for EcoScope preventive
maintenance, which can significantly
extend drilling footage between
failures and reduce NPT.
The PNG generates more neutrons,
with much higher energies, than
a traditional AmBe chemical source.
This provides deeper, more precise
measurements and also enables
the EcoScope service to acquire
industry-first nuclear spectroscopy,
density, and sigma measurements
in addition to the formation
evaluation suite of measurements.
These nuclear measurements
made close to the bitfurther
reduce the uncertainty in data
interpretation.
The answer product from the
EcoView* integrated petrophysical
interpretation system assists in
the analysis of the comprehensive
EcoScope data suite and computes
an advanced petrophysical
interpretation requiring only
water salinity as input from the
user. EcoView software uses
2D and 3D visualization tools to
combine the advanced petrophysical
interpretation with the EcoScope
multiple borehole images.
Multifunction LWD service provides a full suite
of measurements for productive drilling
to put wells in the best place in less time.

Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), formerly Japan National Oil Corporation (JNOC), and Schlumberger collaborated on a research project to
develop LWD technology that reduces the need for traditional chemical sources. Designed around the pulsed neutron generator (PNG), EcoScope service uses technology
that resulted fromthis collaboration. The PNG and the comprehensive suite of measurements in a single collar are key components of the EcoScope service that deliver
game-changing LWD technology.
