Geoservices is an upstream oilfield service company founded in 1958 by Gaston Rebilly. Geoservices is the industry leader in surface logging, focusing on drilling support and formation evaluation. Our portfolio of technologies and services deliver actionable information on reservoir fluid composition, lithology, well placement, reservoir connectivity, and compartmentalization to guide critical decisions for optimal drilling, completions, and ultimate recovery.

Surface Logging Services: Accurate and timely monitoring of the lithology and pore fluid composition of the formations being drilled supports critical decisions that help drill wells more efficiently into potential pay zones. Specialized surface-located sensors measure mechanical, hydraulic, and engineering data while drilling, providing the basis for calculating parameters such as mud pit volumes, mud flow rate, mud weight in the shale shaker area, mud gas level, and return flow rate. This information helps detect unbalanced formation fluid pressures,optimizes the drilling process, and maintains safe operating environment.
Drilling services: Drilling performance services: A key part of drilling is managing risk in ways that make it possible to achieve high performance in wells and borehole sections where drilling efficiency is the priority. Drillers benefit from recommendations to improve downhole performance in real time based on measurement and analysis of surface parameters. Wellbore quality services: A range of drilling parameters related to pore pressure, hole cleaning, and wellbore stability are provided through 24/7 real-time surface monitoring and data analysis combined with predictive models. These help identify drilling risks and operational issues early, minimize non-productive time (NPT) and invisible lost time (ILT), and increase drilling efficiency, with minimal reservoir interference and maximum returns.
Surface formation evaluation services: Fluid logging and analysis services at the surface provide the first insight into reservoir fluid composition. Advanced real-time quantitative mineralogical and petrophysical analyses of cuttings and isotope logging help identify lithology for formation evaluation, geosteering, and well placement.
Rig operations surveillance: Geoservices offers the latest in digital surveillance technology - a superior digital alternative to traditional analog instrumentation and driller’s consoles (primary instrumentation systems) that also functions as an advanced electronic drilling recorder with multiple built-in capabilities. The system enables drillers and their crews to increase the efficiency of daily rig operations by reducing NPT, lowering costs, and increasing operational safety. Built specifically as an unmanned system, it connects rig and onshore personnel, enabling the sharing of wellsite information such as real-time drilling data and reports in a variety of formats.
