Resource Play
Diversified Well Logging Inc.began mud logging resource plays in 2007 with the Eagle Ford Shale. Projects in the Haynesville Shale and Marcellus Shale followed shortly after, in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Diversified offers full service, stand-alone mud logging units, equipped with technology customized for resource play exploration. Because of the number of wells DWL has logged in these trends, we bring to the table the most experienced personnel in resource play exploration.
