Firstly, you will save money by eliminating the need for wireline operations and incremental rig time. Secondly, as it is drill pipe conveyed, data is collected on a more timely basis improving the likelihood of identifying bypassed pay. Further, it is able to log lateral well bores thereby potentially improving the effectiveness of frac operations.
