Overview
 
Accurate, integrated drilling data in real-time 

The Baker Hughes surface logging services (SLS) reliably and accurately acquire, monitor, analyze, and integrate real-time geological drilling data, including lithology, mineralogy, the presence of oil, and formation gases. SLS help you evaluate formations, identify ways to combat wellbore instability, improve hole cleaning, prevent stuck pipe, optimize wellbore construction, and enhance drilling performance. The real value in SLS, however, is its ability to predict the probability of drilling events that could have harmful results, enabling you to avoid them altogether.  

 
High-quality surface logging data 

We provide an extensive array of monitoring and analysis technology and services, including 

  • Geologic services 
  • Gas monitoring and analysis 
  • Fluids monitoring 
  • Operations monitoring 

SLS seamlessly integrates the data it acquires with data collected using directional drilling, logging-while-drilling (LWD), measurement-while-drilling (MWD), wireline, and third-party services. Around-the-clock monitoring and analyses of all operational parameters assure successful well placement while reducing nonproductive time (NPT) and providing a safe working environment. 

 
Certified surface logging experts 

Our surface logging engineers are trained and certified to interpret the data collected, providing a truer picture of what is taking place with your drilling operation. Baker Hughes is the only integrated oilfield service company with full accreditation of its Competence Management program from the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC). Our program qualifies the knowledge and skills of our engineers in critical roles, ensuring they reliably meet and exceed customer requirements and government regulations. 

 
Proactive interpretation of data 

We have the depth and range of knowledge needed to recognize potential drilling and production problems before they occur. By combining high-quality data, expert interpretation, and predictive analytics, we have the tools to reduce the risk of incidents and improve the performance of your wells in every drilling environments. 

We monitor drilling operations at the wellsite and from remote operation centers to look for changes in data trends, such as a variation in torque or pump pressures, a change in penetration rates, or an increase in gas levels, then we notify you immediately. To further enhance collaborative and safer decision-making, we offer direct wellsite communication and visualization through our BEACON™ real-time remote collaboration platform, which provides 24/7 access to your data with our family of WellLink™ data delivery services.
