cantly while simultaneously controlling
costs. A good example would be eliminating stages in intervals with poor reservoir or completion quality.
An increasing number of operators
have come to realize that it is no longer

wise to forego logging horizontal laterals
just because the borehole may be difficult
to access. Without comprehensive petrophysical and geomechanical data, it is
impossible to engineer completions to
ensure optimal perforation placement and

ROBIN SLOCOMBE is a business
development manager at Schlumberger, based in Houston. His responsibilities include defining the strategy
for deploying horizontal logging services, and training and coaching sales
teams. Slocombe has worked for
Schlumberger for 16 years in various
field, management and sales roles in
Colombia, Indonesia, Qatar, Argentina,
United Kingdom, and Libya. He holds
a M.A. in natural sciences and an
M.Eng. in chemical engineering from
Cambridge University.

Stoneley measurements (red) from through-the-bit dipole sonic recorded in a lateral well in
the Buda Limestone-indicating natural fractures-are shown along with other indicators, including Stoneley reflection coefficients, negative Thomsen's gamma, and attenuation from

Magellan, TransCanada Work On Houston Project
TULSA-Magellan Midstream Partners
LP and TransCanada Corp. have announced a joint development agreement
for a project to connect TransCanada's
Houston tank terminal to Magellan's East
Houston terminal. The companies say
the project will give TransCanada's Keystone and Marketlink shippers access to
Magellan's Houston and Texas City crude
oil distribution system.
The project includes constructing a
nine-mile, 24-inch diameter pipeline, with
the companies having equal ownership

interests. The companies estimate the
joint project will cost $50 million. In addition, Magellan says it expects to develop
additional infrastructure at its East Houston
terminal to accommodate pipeline shipments.
The project is subject to the parties'
entry into mutually acceptable agreements
and, pending the receipt of necessary
rights of way, permits and regulatory or
other approvals, the companies say the
pipeline should be operational by late
2016.

JOHN WALSH is a principal geophysicist in Schlumberger's Global
Unconventional Resources Group,
based in Houston. He began his career
with Schlumberger as a field engineer
in Oklahoma. Over the past 35 years,
he has held positions in operations,
marketing, and research involved primarily with borehole seismic and sonic
logging. In his role with the Unconventional Resources Group, Walsh is
developing new applications for
acoustic and geomechanics services
in unconventional resource plays, as
well as providing technical support
for these services. Walsh graduated
from Holy Cross College in 1975 with
an honors B.A. in mathematics.

SACHIN BAMMI is principal engineer and interpretation development
petrophysicist at the Schlumberger
ThruBit Technology Center in Katy,
Tx. In 13 years with Schlumberger,
he has held various positions involved
with developing drilling software and
MWD/LWD tools, and in development
and architecture, log analysis, and
technical sales support. Bammi's current interests are in solving problems
related to logging and formation evaluation techniques. He earned his bachelor's and master's in civil engineering
from the Indian Institute of Technology,
Bombay, and North Carolina State
University in 1999 and 2001, respectively.
