Field Geo-Technicians/Mud Loggers
The geo-technicians/mud loggers on our roster have an average of 7 years field experience. Their experience is primarily working with large independent oil & gas operators. The geo-techs receive basic mud logging training and then progress to unit manager training. All our geo-techs are skilled in lithological analysis and stratigraphic correlation. They have been trained to pay close attention to the geosteering process to assist the client on horizontal drilling projects. Each of them is very competent regarding the mechanical requirements of keeping a mobile lab unit and all equipment maintained and functioning properly.

Quote embodying the spirit of energy professionals:
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
