Halliburton Launches EarthStar 3DX for Advanced Horizontal Well Mapping

Halliburton has launched EarthStar 3DX, the industry's first 3D horizontal look-ahead resistivity service, which provides real-time geological insights up to 50 feet ahead of the drill bit in horizontal wells. This innovative technology utilizes the industry's nearest-to-bit ultra-deep resistivity sensor, enabling earlier detection of formations to optimize wellbore placement, maximize reservoir contact, and enhance hydrocarbon recovery while minimizing operational risks such as premature exits and course corrections. By allowing operators to map geological variations before encountering them, EarthStar 3DX supports safer, more efficient drilling and early intervention to mitigate wellbore instability. Halliburton emphasizes that this service exemplifies their leadership in reservoir mapping technology and their commitment to customizing subsurface and drilling solutions to maximize asset value. The company has also demonstrated progress in related drilling technologies through partnerships and deployment of automated drilling systems, further advancing operational precision. EarthStar 3DX is expected to strengthen Halliburton's competitive edge and appeal to operators seeking enhanced decision-making capabilities in complex drilling environments.
