Directional Drilling in Greeley, Colorado
Directional drilling, MWD/LWD and well planning for Niobrara and Codell horizontals in Weld County and the DJ Basin.
Geo Mag Technologies provides directional drilling services to operators in Greeley, Colorado and across Weld County, the center of the Denver-Julesburg Basin. Geo Mag supplies the mud motors, MWD tool and complete bottom hole assembly needed to drill a deviated well and plans the trajectory beforehand.
The company is based in Broussard, Louisiana and is available for projects anywhere in the United States. Travel distance is not a limiting factor.

Drilling the DJ Basin from constrained surface locations
The DJ Basin's horizontal development targets the Niobrara and Codell intervals, and Weld County is where most of it happens. What sets the basin apart is its surface: the play runs beneath farms, towns and the northern Front Range suburbs, and Colorado's rules set the surface location back from homes and public spaces. Operators answer with large multi-well pads and long laterals that reach targets a considerable distance from the pad.
That geometry makes the directional plan and the survey program the whole game. Trajectories are longer and more deliberate, the offsets are dense, and the plan has to be executed precisely to reach the drilling and spacing unit it was designed for.

Capabilities for precise, long-reach programs
Geo Mag provides pre-drill trajectory design and technical consulting that accounts for the target and the offset wells. It drills against that plan with Bico and Tomahawk mud motors, RSS, Key Drill drilling systems and complete BHA packages, steered on surveys from company-owned positive-pulse MWD tools.
The KeyDrill KDU-Mini decodes tool face, inclination, azimuth, magnetic field, gravity field and dip angle at surface, per its manufacturer datasheet. Gamma and wave propagation resistivity in the same string support landing and holding the lateral, and Polaris pushes the data to the operator WITSML server for remote monitoring from Denver.

Systems relevant to this region
Positive-pulse MWD tool
Directional, gamma and resistivity configurations
The MWD tool is the instrument that tells the directional driller where the bit is and where it is heading. Survey and tool-face data come up the mud column as pressure pulses, so the trajectory can be corrected while drilling instead of after a trip.
Wave propagation resistivity (WPR) sub
Geosteering, correlation and wireline replacement
Propagation resistivity reads the formation around the bit in real time, so a lateral can be steered to stay in the target zone and casing points can be picked without waiting on a wireline run.
KeyDrill KDU-Mini decoding unit
Mud-pulse decoding at the rig floor
Every survey depends on the surface receiver separating a small pressure pulse from pump noise. Deeper wells and PDC bits distort the signal; the lower the pulse a decoder can resolve, the more of the well it can survey reliably.
Polaris RDS logging system
Gamma and directional data logging with remote monitoring
The logging system is where surveys, gamma and drilling parameters become the well record: plots, LAS files and reports the operator keeps, and a live feed the office can watch without being on location.
