proactive course corrections

Halliburton introduced EarthStar 3DX, the first 3D ultra-deep horizontal look-ahead resistivity service, enabling real-time geological mapping 50 feet ahead of drill bits. This innovation allows proactive trajectory adjustments in challenging environments, reducing costly sidetracking and wellbore instability risks, especially in unconventional plays like Permian and Eagle Ford. Integrated with the iStar drilling platform, it competes against Schlumberger’s DELFI and Baker Hughes’ Adventure™, aligning with sustainability goals by enabling longer laterals with lower carbon intensity amid tightening industry margins and regulations. 98 words.
