A mud logging technician provides continuous, real-time surveillance of drilling and formation data from the mud logging unit, capturing cuttings and gas, validating sensors, flagging hazards, and ...

Mud logging is the real-time surface monitoring and interpretation of cuttings, drilling parameters, and mud gas to support safe, efficient drilling and formation evaluation during well construction.

Advances in sampling and analytical techniques now permit the isotopic analysis of very small amounts of hydrocarbon gases in air that are collected from the circulating mud stream during drilling. A ...

Rig-site fluid test automation has lagged automated drilling technology and is now a bottleneck to real-time drilling diagnostics and decisions. A new automated mud skid (AMS) addresses this gap by ...
