Mudlogging

Drawing on over 40 years of experience, we have the requisite expertise and skilled personnel to operate the best equipment and technology available to deliver on the most demanding drilling projects.

Our mudlogging services are designed to aid your geologists and engineers in the field to make timely and informed decisions regarding drilling operations.  Our field geologists construct and maintain highly detailed mudlogs throughout the project with customizable data traces tailored to your unique specifications.  We utilize a host of data monitoring and interpretation services for exploratory and drilling data, including Gas & Chromatography, Gamma, ROP, in addition to several other critical drilling parameters.
