Thanks to its high proprietary knowledge, Geolog operates at the forefront of technology in the field of mud logging. Our strong focus on technology, reinvestment of our profits in ground-breaking R&D, and commercialised industry patents ensure we are constantly developing new tools and innovative software based on our ongoing field experience and expertise. At Geolog we believe our work is never complete and we therefore continuously strive towards the improvement of our systems, equipment and processes. Our innovations are sometimes borne in response to our clients’ requirements (with whom we often work alongside in developing and testing new solutions), but more often these are borne in anticipation of our clients’ future technological needs.

 

Over the years, mud logging has introduced innovation to the oil business: from computerized logging to the digitalization of well databases, from the introduction of electronic sensors to fast communication and data transmission, and importantly the introduction of chromatograph technology to well sites. Much of the world’s “easy” oil has already been extracted, leaving our clients to hunt for new reserves in ever deeper terrains and in ever more inhospitable and inaccessible locations. Without the advantages of these modern mud logging instruments, it would be near to impossible for our clients to effectively and efficiently drill a well.

 

Thanks to its central role in the monitoring and analysis of well data, mud logging has become the only place on a rig where all of the well’s information converges. Geolog’s mud logging services are able to provide clients the centralised instruments to understand their wells and take the correct decisions in real-time, both at the well site itself, as well as remotely, thanks to our proprietary real-time data transmission system Wellcoms - created to address the ever increasing need by our clients to take informed decision at central level at their head office, far removed from the field.
