Talk Topics Common historical data and workflows Mudlog object coverage for wellsite and operations geology workflows Plugging the wellsite geologist into the data pool automating the pull of LWD/MWD and SDL data Feeding geological interpretations back to the data pool

Summarized Benefits of mudLog Object Usage Mudlog object usage accelerates the delivery of geological data to decision making applications Automate or semi-automate the update of geological models and prognosed formation tops Feed petrophysics tools and workflows as soon as geological information is available Report on operational data over a geological interval to determine formation characteristics Deliver important operational comments and parameters Sharing and integration of geological prognosis, wellsite interpretations and cuttings lithology Standardized sharing of geological data eliminates inaccuracy
