Our Packages

Our standard package includes both a Measure Depth and Pressure Detection Log. Parameters monitored are depth, weight on bit, gas detection (FID and backup IR), Chromatograph C-1 thru C-6 (Fid), mud temperature, hook- load, parameter alarms, and pump monitoring, and mud chlorides.
All units come with real-time data acquisition which builds our mud logs as drilling occurs. As samples are taken, analyzed for composition and the presence of hydrocarbons the descriptions along with other drilling comments are added to the log. Chloride real time, pit monitoring, pump pressure, rotary and torque as well as other rig parameters are available.
Our standard two-man crew monitor connections, as well as trip gases, collect samples and standard mud checks for sand content and chlorides.
Each unit is connected to you by satellite providing up to the second data, lithology sample photos and logs.
