Course Description
Modern Mud Logging Training Course
Mud logging (or Surface logging) is the creation of a well-log when drilling a well, by examining drill cuttings and fluids brought to surface, by plotting significant drilling parameters and analyzing and plotting gas-in-mud data. The course describes how Mud logging services acquire, capture and process surface measurements and addresses how these data are used on the rig. Data handled includes drilling parameters, gas data and geological information.
Course Objectives
• Understand how Mudlogging systems help monitor and interact with drilling operations,
• Understand the principles of gas measurements,
• Understand how geological data is captured and processed
By the end of the course participants will have a better understanding of the added value Mud logging skills, data and personnel bring to the geological and drilling process, to understand all operational elements in relation to the mud logging data. The importance of quality control and to have the skills needed to challenge data quality.
Who Should Attend
New hire wellsite geologists and operation geologists, drilling engineers, reservoir engineers, production engineers, petroleum engineers. geoscientists and anyone who needs an understanding of Mud logging.
