SES 3D TSD Geosteering is a software platform designed for horizontal drilling operations, specifically addressing the challenges of accurately steering wellbores to target hydrocarbon-bearing strata. Developed by Stoner Engineering LLC, the tool is positioned for use in the oil and gas sector, where understanding the true stratigraphic location of the wellbore is critical for commercial success. SES seeks to overcome the inherent uncertainties in subsurface mapping by leveraging 3D vector geometry to correlate well log data with localized 3D wellbore paths and true stratigraphic depth (TSD) orientations.
A central feature of SES is its unique geosteering guidance engine, which applies proprietary petroleum engineering principles and technologies. The software enables users to pinpoint measured depth (MD) intervals that correspond to specific stratigraphic locations, facilitating the discovery of local structural details at the scale relevant to horizontal drilling. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on 2D vertical section analysis, SES operates in the MD domain, allowing for distinct cross sections and analyses that reflect the true complexity of the subsurface. This approach is intended to provide sharper focus on geological features such as curving and faulting, minimizing misinterpretation caused by apparent changes from wellbore trajectory alone.
SES integrates multiple exclusive software features designed to support technical geosteering, including 3D geosteering mechanics, 3D geosteering guidance, and 3D directional steering guidance. The platform also addresses hole deviation and provides tools for mapping basins, payzones, and formations. Its logic is described as superior to competitor software, which are said to rely on 2D true vertical thickness (TVT) methods. SES is noted to have been used by thousands of professionals across more than 265 companies over a 19-year period, reflecting its adoption in the industry for technical geosteering tasks.
The software is available through Stoner Engineering LLC.
