We pride ourselves on delivering innovative, reliable data collection that empowers our clients to make confident, data-backed decisions in even the most challenging drilling environments.

The Selman Difference

With a legacy of innovation, Selman & Associates pioneered computerized mud logging in the early 1990s, launched one of the first cloud-based well data systems, and developed an industry-first mobile app for real-time logging data in 2014.
