141: Breaking down the life cycle of a well

Sue Carr and Patrick Meroney discuss the life of the well from the February 2022 special section in The Leading Edge. Sue and Patrick discuss the importance of a shared definition of a well, spotlight the most important well component for geophysicists, highlight the five life cycles of a well, and break down why well logs are the key piece for successful drilling. This conversation will help geophysicists better connect their work across the entire production chain and support their work in being more useful and practical to others. Sue Carr is Solutions Manager, Subsurface Consulting at Katalyst Data Management. Patrick Meroney is Vice President, US Operations and Professional Services at Katalyst Data Management.
