Over 70 wells logged from 2017-2019, Cordax’s LWT technology allowed us to add critical geoscience information.
As the Director of Geosciences at Great Western Operating Company, a Denver based exploration company focused on development of unconventional resources in the Denver Julesburg Basin, we looked to Cordax as a solution partner to fulfill our open hole logging needs as a means to minimize both risk and rig-time. With over 70 wells logged from 2017-2019 Cordax’s LWT technology allowed us to add critical geoscience information in the Southern portion of our acreage which lacked data and also fulfill the state regulatory requirements. Cordax’s operations were on time and operational performance was as advertised. Log data quality was good and fulfilled our needs. We used Cordax’s post fracture logging services as part of a multi-diagnostic project in order to optimize our well completions which resulted in dramatic improvement and understanding of fracture behavior. The improved completion designs saved the company millions over the span of the the remaining PADs implemented prior to the purchase of GWOC by PDC. I would recommend Cordax to other unconventional operators with similar challenges.
