Mike takes a fresh look at Mud Logging procedures on a drilling rig -especially the methods of collecting cutting samples.

After explaining what Mud Logging is and why we do it, Mike breaks down the steps, challenges some industry norms, and makes recommendations to improve Mud Logging results.

Mud logging is recovering drill cuttings at the surface while a well is being drilled and making observations and analyses of the cuttings.

Our purpose in mud logging is to determine what formations are present at what depths and what if any zones contain oil and gas.
