Collect, analyze, and evaluate rock samples for from well bore to determine lithology and horizons of oil and gas-bearing formations. Monitor and analyze down-hole gases for interpretation of oil and gas shows. Liaise with Geologists, Geosteerers, and Directional Drillers to ensure timely and efficient completion of horizontal drilling programs. Evaluate offset data, wire line logs, and correlate with MWD gamma logs to insure maximum exposure of horizontal target. Maintain detailed records of drilling operations and compile daily, weekly, and post-well reports and logs
