Well Planning & Technical Consulting
Pre-drill trajectory design and technical consulting, with geosteering support from real-time resistivity once the bit is in the ground.
Well planning maps the wellbore trajectory before drilling begins, accounting for the target and offset wells, so the directional drilling and MWD/LWD work that follows has a plan to execute against. Geo Mag provides this planning and technical consulting alongside its drilling and measurement services, and its wave propagation resistivity and gamma logging support geosteering once drilling starts, with the resistivity sub rated for both water-based and oil-based mud, so the plan and the live formation data are read by the same team. Geo Mag's logging tools also include pressure while drilling (PWD).

Planning sets the trajectory; real-time resistivity and gamma logging help keep the well in the target zone.
- TargetThe plan is drawn to the target the operator has set.
- Offset wellsNearby wellbores are accounted for before drilling begins.
- TrajectoryKick-off, build and lateral, so the directional and MWD work has a plan to execute against.
- GeosteeringWave propagation resistivity and gamma logging provide complementary formation measurements for real-time geosteering, helping the team keep the well within the target zone.
- Pressure while drillingGeo Mag's logging tools also include pressure while drilling (PWD), which runs in the same MWD string and reports real-time equivalent circulating density.

From the plan to the formation
Planning sets the trajectory; real-time resistivity and gamma logging help keep the well in the target zone.
Wave propagation resistivity (WPR) sub
Geosteering, correlation and wireline replacement
Wave propagation resistivity measures the formation’s electrical resistivity, helping evaluate formation fluids. Gamma logging helps distinguish lithology—the rock types being drilled. Interpreted together with geological models and survey data, these measurements help the team assess the wellbore’s position within the formation and guide real-time geosteering.
PWD, annular pressure-while-drilling
Real-time downhole pressure and ECD
Annular pressure while drilling turns equivalent circulating density from a calculation into a measurement. It shows whether the hole is being cleaned, flags kicks and influxes early, and lets the overbalance be held tight without giving up rate of penetration.
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.
