The real value in SLS, however, is its ability to predict the probability of drilling events that could have harmful results, enabling you to avoid them altogether. High-quality surface logging data We provide an extensive array of monitoring and analysis technology and services, including Geologic services Gas monitoring and analysis Fluids monitoring Operations monitoring SLS seamlessly integrates the data it acquires with data collected using directional drilling, logging while drilling, measurement while drilling, wireline, and third-party services. Around-the-clock monitoring and analysis of all operational parameters assures successful well placement while reducing nonproductive time and providing a safe working environment. Certified surface logging experts Our surface logging engineers are trained and certified to interpret the data collected, providing a truer picture of what is taking place with your drilling operation. Baker Hughes is the only integrated oilfield service company with full accreditation of its Competence Management program from the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC). Our program qualifies the knowledge and skills of our engineers in critical roles, ensuring they reliably meet and exceed customer requirements and government regulations. Proactive interpretation of data We have the depth and range of knowledge needed to recognize potential drilling and production problems before they occur. By combining high-quality data, expert interpretation, and predictive analytics, we have the tools to reduce the risk of incidents and improve the performance of your wells in every drilling environment. We monitor drilling operations at the wellsite and from remote operation centers to look for changes in data trends, such as a variation in torque or pump pressure, a change in penetration rate, or an increase in gas levels, then notify you immediately. To further enhance collaborative and safer decision making, we offer direct wellsite communication and visualization through our BEACON™ real-time remote collaboration platform, which provides 24/7 access to your data with our family of WellLink™ data delivery services. Applications Every drilling environment, including Onshore Offshore Deep and ultradeep water Unconventional High-pressure/high-temperature Geologic Services SLS Geologic Services use drilled cuttings to maximize formation evaluation and enhance drilling performance. Advanced Cuttings Evaluation Service The Baker Hughes Advanced Cuttings Evaluation (ACE) service provides real-time elemental, mineralogical, organic, and petrophysical analyses of cuttings for enhanced formation evaluation while dril... Gas Measurement and Monitoring Perform advanced evaluation of the formation and reservoir. Advanced Gas Analysis The Baker Hughes HC-Vision™ reservoir characterization service uses hydrocarbon gas input to produce well logs for enhanced reservoir evaluation and interpretation. Fluids Monitoring SLS fluids monitoring tracks drilling fluids and observes flow to detect well-control issues, wellbore stability problems, and errors in surface-pit mud movement. Operations Monitoring SLS Operations Monitoring continually records, monitors, analyzes, and models all of the rigsite data needed for a well-controlled operation.
