Experienced Logging Geologist - (Midland, TX)

Position details Mud logging is the creation of a detailed record (well log) of a borehole by examining the cuttings of rock brought to the surface by the circulating drilling medium (most commonly mud). This provides our customers with details about the geology and gas content of the borehole while drilling. Mud loggers connect various sensors to the drilling apparatus and install specialized equipment to monitor or "log" drill activity. This can be physically and mentally challenging, especially when having to be done during drilling activity in a remote location. Much of the equipment will require precise calibration or alignment by the mud logger to provide accurate readings. Mud logging specialists observe and interpret the indicators in the mud returns during the drilling process, and at regular intervals log properties such as drilling rate, mud weight, flowline temperature, oil indicators, pump pressure, pump rate, lithology (rock type) of the drilled cuttings, and other data.
