POSITION: Mud logger: January 2009 – July 2010.
Worked with Geoservices Clients, i.e. Reliance, Cairn Energy India Ltd., and ONGC, who are currently carrying out Oil and Gas exploration at KG basin, Cauvery basin and Kerala-Konkan basin.
• Collection of samples and monitoring shakers for increase in sample cutting, caving or mud losses. Keeping a check on the degassers and troubleshooting it whenever required.
• Providing geological data, obtained by physical examination of drilled cuttings.
• Determining percentage of calcite and dolomite in rock cuttings by calcimetry.
• Monitoring the well at all times.
o Includes keeping a watch on mud loss or mud gain. Drilling break, change in ROP, variations in torque, stand pipe pressure and more.
• Reporting client regarding total gas percentage at the time during drilling (background gas, trip gas, formation gas).
