Maximizing Reservoir Insight: FGS Expertise in the Permian Basin

Uncategorized

The Permian Basin—stretching across West Texas and southeastern New Mexico—is one of the most prolific hydrocarbon-producing regions in the world. With its complex stratigraphy and high drilling activity, success in the Permian demands more than just robust operations—it requires high-resolution geological data and expert interpretation. That’s where Field Geo Services (FGS) stands out.

Mudlogging: The Foundation of Real-Time Geological Insight

At FGS, mudlogging is more than just monitoring—it’s the art and science of capturing real-time geological, petrophysical, and operational data to support informed drilling decisions. Our seasoned mudloggers combine field-proven experience with cutting-edge tools to deliver:

  • Accurate lithology descriptions
  • Gas detection and analysis with fast response times
  • Lag time correction and depth correlation
  • Drilling parameter monitoring and safety alerts

In the Permian Basin—where rapid changes in lithology and over pressured zones are common—our meticulous approach helps clients avoid costly mistakes and maintain wellbore stability. Whether you’re drilling verticals, laterals, or complex horizontals, our teams provide the clarity and consistency operators need to stay ahead.


Geochemistry & Mass Spectrometry: Unlocking Reservoir Potential

To push the envelope further, FGS integrates advanced geochemistry services—including gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry, and x-ray fluorescence (XRF)—into our Permian workflows.

These services deliver critical insights into:

  • Hydrocarbon composition and fluid typing
  • Source rock evaluation and maturity
  • Reservoir fingerprinting and zonal correlations

In Texas and New Mexico, where multiple stacked plays (like the Wolfcamp, Bone Spring, and Spraberry) present both opportunity and complexity, our geochemical data enables precise reservoir characterization. Our mass spectrometry platform offers near real-time hydrocarbon breakdowns—ideal for optimizing geosteering and landing zone decisions.
