GEOLOG TECHNICAL PAPERS

GEOLOG International is an active contributor to the technological advances in the mud logging field. This is
achieved through its strong focus on R&D as well as its ongoing work with its clients, with whom it often works in
conjunction to design, develop and evaluate new surface logging technologies.
In this volume are some of the research papers GEOLOG has written with its clients over the years:
