I then went out with Vernon Chapman on a job with another Vernon (Nichols, if I recall well). Vernon had a son in law named Dale whom Vernon N. was trying to train. One night Dale and his wife went out to a club and a young woman asked him what he did and he replied, "I am a mudlogger." She thought about that for a while and said, "My daddy has some swampy ground down south (of Carthage, Tx) and you might want to talk to him..."

This brings back many happy memories. My first "real" job was working for the The Analysts (Lafayette, LA) which got bought out by Schlumberger just before I hired on in 1979. Those were the old fashioned days of mudlogging. Hand writing the data on pad and them using a pen to ink it on the velum. Did a few land jobs but most of my time was offshore. I also got involved in the MWD program when it was going commercial. Lots of great memories and stories Stan, really nice site you have here. This brings back many happy memories.

Once again great description...

I really enjoy mudlogging, but I am glad we don't have a basket of colored ink pens and a big tablet laid out..I kind of like the computer logs. I'd love to have you write a post or two for this site if you like. The Mudblogger (Stan) Thanks Mark!

We rely on them for much more than collecting samples and tying HC to depths. They also keep us informed as to the status of drilling on the rig, any problems, any successes...they are the conduit between the geologist and the rig crew. Having and keeping a good one is important and makes applying the science and interpreting the data that much easier. I can tell you that your mudlogger can make or break you.
