Mudlogging

This is an educational video about mudlogging designed for the general public, and not necessarily those with a geologic background. The video provides a short overview of a mudlogger’s job while at a drill site. For time purposes we could not include every step in the process, and some reenactment footage was used in the creation of this video. We appreciate the time everyone took out of their day so we could make this video.

Great Video...
I sit here smiling... because I'm one of those
"Old Timers" that was a Mud logger way back in
the late 70s & early 80s...
We didn't have ANYthing like computers, etc...
We gathered our samples, every 10'
and we had a magnifier... and something like a
Gas Chromatography...
and we had to know our samples
by looking and knowing what there were, without testing....
I made $75. a day for 12 hours a day... some times working
for 30 straight days without a day off...
Personally I loved doing coring... not samples to be caught.
I also became a Mud Chem. Engineer later...
Even though I'm 64 years old.. I'm applying for a Mudlogging job...
Wish me well...

Wish you best of luck 🤝 and $75 in 12 hours back in the days was huge deal

Hi Judi, I would like to share your experiences as mudlogger, I was recently apply Mudlogging job. Can I reaching you by email? thanks.

Thank you all for such lively discussions. Though we respect your philosophical debate please keep in mind this is an educational video designed for the general public and as such does not get into the nitty gritty of the job. Jeff and Les were at our drill site for several weeks, and we have condensed their work into a 6 minute preview. Everything that you see in this video had been previously analyzed, and the footage of Les collecting samples and Jeff analyzing them was a reenactment done specifically for this video. The people who worked on our drill site were very knowledgeable and we were very pleased with their contributions to this project.

Thanks for all your views and comments. For the negative comments on the catching and analyzing of the drill cuttings! We were filming while we were tripping out of the hole with a barrel of core as I mentioned!!! There were no pumps on the hole therefore no flow. That is why we acted out catching the samples with a strainer and did not test, test, test the drill cuttings that we caught, tested and analyzed many hours prior!!!
Much love,
JCB

Hello sir

[@zahidcreations8322]

I need some help in learning mud logging can you help me

[@meddu03]

Great video , it makes me want to graduate fast from college and straight to a job as a logging geologist.

Thank you Jeff! and Kentucky Geological Survey!

Thanks for sharing this video...

[@stillinchina]

who ever thought mudlogging could be so fascinating?

[@HanDrumsolo]

love the hi-tech mountain dew apparatus

[@davidwilmshurst4616]

Fascinating, thanks. Good education material.
Noticed what might be a typo. "Atlas Copoco".

[@pojokberuang5663]

So, this basically determines the chip sample and does correlation into well stratigraphic section.

Awesome presentation

Cool jazz!

Geologist are awesome! I want to become one

Excellent..........thanks

I start my journey by watching a tutorial about how to draw a car
5 hours later and here I am

Catching samples with a food strainer misses everything below the food strainer seive size.

[@sethfeingold]

Would you consider this a good job for a Geology & Physics major fresh out of undergrad?

[@KGSUK]

+Seth Hi Seth! Yes working for a mudlogging company would be a perfect entry level job for someone interested in petroleum geology. It would be a great way for you to gain valuable experience in oil and gas operations, and learning subsurface geology.

[@jamesmahan9787]

For a general geology major yes it's good, not necessarily a physics major no, but it still gets your feet wet and it has good pay for an entry level job @@precisi0n86

@@precisi0n86 Hi man i have done my graduation In Geophyscis but there are not much jobs which i can get, can you tell me a good entry level or fresher job for my field ?

[@healwithquran5032]

@@precisi0n86 Thanks aloot for replying and Yes, i have done few Internships in Top companies where i live but after that there is no Job opening for Freshers rn and its been more than 6 months. After Corona it's quiet frustrating because no one hiring rn infact laying there employee's off

Vertical wells and ten footers for the geologist don't miss those

[@Minimeister317]

I'd love to get a job like this if possible with only a bachelor degree

[@aminekh2097]

Im data ing . In france and we never colect simple like that .
We collect it in shaker
Sorry about my english

[@JudiChristopher]

I was thinking the same thing when I was a Mud logger
back in the 80s

[@geoffkarcher2795]

Evrey 10 feet sound like alot of samples
