Information for decision making
What is Mud Logging ?
Geoservices unique approach to mud logging and our proven competence in formation evaluation and drilling support has led us to become world leaders in this specialised market.
We are focused on adding value for our clients through the intelligent use of all available data. People are the key to our services and through technological development and training we provide our engineers with the tools and techniques to assist them in providing solutions. Today many aspects of engineering and earth sciences are used to present a detailed picture of the drilling process and the subsurface environment.
The service requires two to four people at the wellsite, a mobile laboratory unit and a choice of sophisticated data acquisition systems: either the latest generation geoNEXT II ™ or the Advanced Logging System (ALS). The logging unit is an information hub at the wellsite which brings information on the drilling process in real time to the decision makers. (on site, or at any remote location).
Our service collates four main classes of information:
- Geological data, obtained by physical examination of drilled cuttings
- Hydrocarbon (reservoir and source) data, from analysis of drilled gases and mud hydrocarbon content
- Surface drilling data (including mechanical, hydraulic, and engineering parameters), to help maintain safety, balance formation fluid pressures, optimize the drilling process and control drilling costs.
- Downhole drilling data; we integrate parameters from other sources, such as logging-while-drilling or electric logs which will complement the information we provide. With this combination Geoservices provides its clients with the broadest possible picture to assist in critical decision making.
