 Mud Logging Quality Control
Mud logging is an integral aspect of the modern drilling process and is often the first and possibly earliest opportunity to detect hydrocarbon shows. As a result, it is crucial that the mud logging equipment used to monitor drilling is carefully calibrated and in proper working order. Ellington & Associates, Inc. therefore offers our services as a third party quality control analyst of the mud logging operations. Typically, our experienced staff of professional geologists and engineers actively participate from the pre-spud meetings through completion and evaluation.

At your request, our auditors will:


    Evaluate total gas and chromatograph instruments and systems
    Appraise sample collection procedures
    Examine lithologic descriptions
    Review trap functionality and sample line efficiency
    Rate safety measures and compliance
    Assess experience and capabilities of personnel
    Analyze data and implement corrections
    Make unannounced site visits


No matter the circumstances, we can design a program to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of the mud logging systems and equipment, procedures, and personnel.
