In drilling operations, every decision carries weight—some affect minutes on the rig, others impact millions in production. The difference between a reactive operation and a strategic one often comes down to how well you understand your data—and how fast you can act on it.

At Field Geo Services (FGS), we specialize in transforming raw geochemical data into actionable insights that empower operators to plan better, drill smarter, and complete with confidence. This isn’t about data for data’s sake—it’s about applying the right information at the right time to reduce uncertainty and maximize well performance.

From the Wellsite to the War Room: Data That Drives Execution

Operators face a constant pressure to minimize costs while optimizing results. Our real-time interpreted geochemical data—integrated into your decision-making workflow—can support every stage of the drilling program:

✅ Drilling Optimization

Elemental data from cuttings and gas can reveal subtle changes in lithology, enabling better rate of penetration (ROP) planning and bit selection. By understanding formation trends ahead of the bit, operators can avoid surprises and tailor their BHA strategies in real time.

🚩 Hazard Identification

Gas spikes, abnormal mineral signatures, or elemental shifts can indicate overpressure zones, swelling clays, or tight intervals. FGS provides interpreted alerts that help you recognize and mitigate drilling hazards before they become costly downtime.

🧭 Reservoir Navigation

By layering geochemistry with real-time mudlogging and XRF/MS results, our team can identify the sweet spots—whether that means staying within a brittle reservoir, detecting natural fracture swarms, or recognizing when you’ve entered an unproductive zone.

💧 Water Avoidance

With high-resolution elemental trends, we can help delineate hydrocarbon-bearing zones from water-prone intervals. This data helps inform steering decisions and casing points to avoid premature water breakthrough in completions.

🧠 Completion Optimization

We don’t just hand off the data at TD. Our interpreted results guide stage placement, frac design, and cluster spacing—tailoring completion strategies to the true rock properties and fluid signatures of the wellbore.

💡 Additional Pay Identification

It’s not uncommon for operators to miss bypassed or subtle pay zones. Our integrated geochemistry approach helps identify resource intervals that may be thin, low contrast on logs, or unconventional in character—unlocking hidden value from each lateral.

🪨 Fracture and Fault Detection

Geochemical anomalies often correlate with fractures or faults—features that can dramatically affect production. Our interpretation services help map these structural features and incorporate them into geosteering and completion models.

Less Guesswork, More Confidence

The real power of interpreted geochemistry is not just in what it tells you—it’s in how it helps you decide. With FGS, you’re not flying blind between wireline runs or LWD updates. You’re backed by continuous, wellsite-based insight that evolves with the well.

When you understand what’s coming—and what’s behind you—you can execute with agility. And when every decision is backed by science, you spend less time troubleshooting and more time optimizing.

FGS: Your Partner in Predictive Operations

At Field Geo Services, we combine decades of wellsite experience with advanced elemental and isotopic analysis. Our job isn’t just to report the rock—it’s to translate it into strategy. Whether you’re drilling your first test well or managing a full-field development, FGS gives you the tools to reduce uncertainty, capture more value, and operate with confidence.
