What is Mud Logging?
Mud Logging provides subsurface geological information while drilling a well. Mud Logging examines and analyzes geological information contained information cuttings and drilling mud, to determine if oil and gas are encountered during drilling well. Mud Logging also provides critical safety functions such as determining pore pressure, kick control, and ambient gas monitoring. Mud Logging is used while drilling most exploratory and many development wells, both onshore and offshore.
Mud Logging services have evolved to become the information center for the well and include the electronic monitoring of drilling parameters. These parameters include weight on bit, torque, penetration rate, mud levels, pump speed, and third-party service provider data.
Basic services use a cost-effective Mud Logging unit that provides gas detection to identify potentially productive pay zones and enhance drilling safety. The system is configurable for hydrogen sulfide H2S monitoring. The units are equipped with alarms to alert the user if gas increases or equipment problems occur and work in conjunction with the data logging and drilling penetration rates.
Mud Logging Services Provides:
- Advanced drilling monitoring systems capable of gas detection, electronic monitoring, and database recording for a full range of drilling parameters
- Experienced crews and additional tools to monitor and analyze both the geology of the subsurface information and the drilling parameters.
- Various combinations of services and crew size depending on the customer’s requirements and well complexity.
- A portable laboratory (Mud Logging unit) that houses the hardware and software analysis conducted at well-site during the drilling process and samples are returned to the operator after analysis.
Benefits of Mud Logging:
Mud Logging lowers costs and improves success rates. Mud Logging uses sophisticated systems and experienced crews, which range from one to six people. Mud loggers analyze the geological data as well as drilling parameters to identify and quantify the productive hydrocarbon reserves, subsurface formation porosity, and formation fractures. Mud loggers also look at the filling parameters in conjunction with formation analysis in order to provide recommendations to improve drilling rates, reduce costs and enhance safety.
