Product Overview

Overview

DWL is focused on extracting maximium value from drill cuttings and and mud gas measurements. Surface Measurement While Drilling The reinvention of mud logging is necessary to increase the geological data available to drive operational and capital efficiency leading us to give birth to Hybrid Mud Logging (HML). This is not mud logging as we know it. This is Surface Measurement While Drilling.

Realtime, onsite, elemental data from drill-cuttings, organic and inorganic formation gases, and drilling data, are combined with A.I. methods including machine and deep learning to provide a powerful and important window into the subsurface. A window that drives drilling efficiency in realtime, improves completion design, and ultimately leads to improved production and return on investment.

The Future is Robotic Diversified Well Logging is actively working on bringing ‘robots’ to the oilfield.

Image recognition software that characterizes drill cuttings allowing greater precision in gathering important information used to minimize drilling dysfunction and the possibility of stuck pipe due to hole instability.

Also, our automated drill cutting collection and analysis system, the ‘Robologger’, has delivered encouraging initial results. Robologger delivers consistent sample collection 24/7 regardless of the weather and analyzes samples every 2 minutes providing quantitative rock composition at greater depth resolution than a person can achieve. It lowers HSE risk, reduces the carbon footprint and significantly reduces geological, drilling, and completion risk.
