This is the Halliburton Sperry Drilling 2010 spotlight on new technology.

To obtain fluid samples while drilling the well. Only available on wireline before, formation fluid sampling is now possible using LWD technology. The GeoTap® IDS sensor revolutionizes the industry by allowing downhole capture, identification and surface recovery of representative fluid samples on LWD. Built on the acclaimed GeoTap® formation pressure tester platform, the GeoTap IDS sensor delivers real-time reservoir characterization and helps eliminate the time and cost of wireline sampling.


GeoTap IDS Sensor Benefits:-
-Can reduce uncertainly in complex reservoirs
-Helps improve economic performance in high-cost deepwater environments
-Can eliminate costly wireline trips and associated rig time
-Get data within hours, not days, through reduced pump-out time
-Improve geo-correlation accuracy and geosteering capabilities

one trip down to the hole to get reservoirs data in realtime save time which is equal to save money, an innovative product also a value added product.

GeoTap® Sensor
With Sperry Drilling services' GeoTap® LWD formation tester, it is possible to obtain real-time direct pore pressure measurements, with accuracy and precision comparable to that of wireline formation testers. The GeoTap service bridges a critical gap in drilling safety and optimization, providing early and reliable measurements of reservoir pressure and mud density.

Benefits:-
Helps improve formation evaluation.
-Obtain real-time fluid gradients and fluid mobility (permeability/viscosity indicator)
-Identify fluid contact points, and determine reservoir connectivity/compartmentalization, and depletion

Can increase safety of operation.
-Determine optimal mud weight and manage equivalent circulating density
-Know of pressure changes when they occur, not after it's too late
-Continuously update wellbore stability assessments
-Reduce formation damage

Helps increase drilling efficiency.
-Determine precise overbalance for maximizing ROP
-Continuously monitor hole cleaning effectiveness with Pressure-While-Drilling, while reducing formation damage due to swab/surge
Save time, money
reduce rig down time associated with wireline testing
