Surface logging

Actionable information on well status, drilling performance, reservoir fluid composition, and more

Surface Logging Services

Timely, accurate information about well status and drilling performance help drill better wells more efficiently. SLB provides formation evaluation and drilling support through Core Mudlogging.

SLB Surface Logging is the industry leader, focusing on drilling support and formation evaluation. Our portfolio of technologies and services deliver actionable information on reservoir fluid composition, lithology, well placement, reservoir connectivity, and compartmentalization to guide critical decisions for optimal drilling, completions, and ultimate recovery.
