Wellsite Palynology

Global expertise ready to go

MGPalaeo have provided rigsite services since the 1980s, with extensive experience at remote, high-risk locations.

We have helped in the successful drilling of both vertical exploration and development wells, plus deviated and horizontal drilling (biosteering). We have also provided the only point of stratigraphical reference on wells where MWD tools have failed.

Our experienced teams can provide 24-hour coverage, and our inhouse fleet of rigsite units means we are ready to deploy with short notice.

From 2012-2015, MGPalaeo (in association with PT Horizon Geoconsulting) successfully provided ongoing 24-hour wellsite coverage on the >$19 billion co-venture PNG-LNG project, operated by ExxonMobil PNG Limited. MGP was part of the 500 hurt free days achieved on Nabors Rig 703 as part of this project.
