Powerful, user-friendly geosteering software that helps in-house teams monitor well trajectory, interpret real-time drilling data, and maintain control of directional well placement.
Directional drilling teams need reliable tools to understand where a wellbore is positioned and how geological conditions are changing in real time. Purchasing and maintaining specialized software, however, may not be the right fit for every project or organization.
Selman Geo Services offers Geosteering Software Rental Services through EarthSteer™, our powerful, user-friendly platform designed for real-time well placement and trajectory monitoring.
EarthSteer™ gives operators, geologists, and drilling teams access to advanced geosteering functionality while allowing them to manage interpretation and operational decisions in-house. The rental model provides the flexibility to use professional software when it is needed without making a permanent software investment.
Geosteering software helps drilling teams combine directional survey information, geological measurements, and formation models to evaluate a wellbore’s position relative to a target interval.
As new data is received, the software allows users to update interpretations, monitor trajectory changes, correlate formations, and visualize the well path. This supports better-informed decisions during landing and lateral drilling.
Directional Drilling Software is especially valuable in horizontal wells where the target interval may be narrow, structurally complex, or difficult to follow using a static pre-drill model alone.
Not every operator needs to purchase a permanent geosteering platform. A rental model provides access to advanced capabilities for a specific well, drilling campaign, or period of increased activity.
Software rental may be a practical solution for teams that:
This flexibility allows operators to match software access with actual operational demand.
EarthSteer™ is Selman Geo Services’ geosteering platform for teams that want direct control over well-placement interpretation. It is designed to help users organize drilling data, visualize trajectory, track formation changes, and update geological interpretations as the well progresses.
The platform supports a practical geosteering workflow by bringing important directional and geological information into one environment.
EarthSteer™ is built to be powerful enough for complex drilling projects while remaining approachable for geologists and technical teams that need a clear, efficient interface.
EarthSteer™ helps teams monitor directional progress as new drilling information becomes available. Instead of relying only on a static plan, users can compare the current well path with the target formation and adjust their interpretation throughout the operation.
Effective geosteering depends on understanding how multiple data sources relate to one another. EarthSteer™ helps users evaluate well trajectory alongside the geological information available for the project.
Depending on the drilling program and available integrations, teams may work with:
Bringing these inputs together supports a more complete understanding of the wellbore’s current position and the geological conditions being encountered.
The objective of geosteering is to maximize the amount of wellbore positioned within the preferred target interval. When a well drifts outside that interval, reservoir contact and production potential may be reduced.
EarthSteer™ helps in-house teams evaluate:
This supports more deliberate and informed decisions throughout the directional drilling process.
A geosteering platform must be technically capable without creating unnecessary complexity for the people using it. EarthSteer™ is designed around a practical workflow that allows geologists and technical teams to focus on interpretation and well placement.
The software’s user-friendly approach helps teams organize project data, update interpretations, communicate findings, and maintain a consistent view of the well throughout the operation.
Some operators prefer to keep geosteering interpretation within their own geological or drilling team. EarthSteer™ supports this model by providing the software environment needed to manage trajectory analysis and formation interpretation internally.
In-house control can help teams:
Selman Geo Services can also provide geological consulting or reporting support when additional expertise is needed.
EarthSteer™ software rental can be used as a stand-alone in-house tool or combined with Selman’s broader Geosteering Services, Geosteering Reporting, mud logging, and geological consulting capabilities.
EarthSteer™ can support different well types, operational models, and drilling programs. Rental terms and project support can be tailored around the needs of the client.
Selman Geo Services understands geosteering from both the geological and operational sides of the drilling process. EarthSteer™ was developed around the practical needs of teams working with real drilling data and real well-placement decisions.
EarthSteer™ is more than a software rental. It is supported by a company with extensive experience in mud logging, directional drilling support, formation evaluation, and real-time geological interpretation.
EarthSteer™ is Selman Geo Services’ geosteering software platform for monitoring well trajectory, correlating formations, and supporting real-time well-placement decisions.

Posted on Google heather grigsby Posted on Google Kristie Ferguson We recently used Selman Mudlogging on two wells in the Texas Panhandle, and they absolutely exceeded expectations. Their team was consistently on time, professional, and extremely reliable. With their Starlink setup, communication was seamless—no downtime, no delays, and always reachable when needed. Their daily reports were clear, timely, and dependable. Our mudlogger was highly knowledgeable and did an excellent job analyzing samples and identifying shows in new zones, which added real value to the project. The accuracy and attention to detail were outstanding. Selman’s online portal and mobile app make accessing sample analysis, uploads, and reports incredibly convenient. Everything is organized, easy to navigate, and available in real time. Overall, they were very easy to work with, extremely competent, and clearly dedicated to delivering a top-tier service. We’ll definitely be using Selman Mudlogging on future jobs. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Ross Evans I’d like to take a minute and provide a review of this awesome company a Permian/North Texas operator’s view point due to how happy we’ve been with working with this company. This company deserved a detailed review post! I personally have to say, that this has been my favorite logging company that has logged for us at Joint Resources and that I’ve worked with to date. I’ve been managing the mud logging operations for over 12 years at my company and have worked with numerous companies in the Permian and North Texas regions, and this company has been on point all across the board from, all the way from customer support to operations in the field as well as giving the best performing gas detection system and post well logs I have worked with. They have the most competitive pricing on the market and offer a simple pricing structure. Tom Selman does not believe in charging operators a million different fees like most other logging companies do (logger travel mileage, fees for printing post well logs, daily logger per diem/lodging fees, etc) and the base logging package is very fairly priced and beats any other operator’s pricing that we’ve used. They offer premium gas detection services as well as a first of it's kind service that I personally have never come across before. Two different things that Selman offers that I have not found another logging outfit to offer: (1) A photo log that includes BOTH high quality images of the samples AND images of the florescence shows for each of the samples recorded! This was an extremely valuable log to have post well when planning the completions! I can't even begin to tell you how cool it was to have images of the fluorescence and shows after the well, normally this is only recorded as descriptions from the Mud Logger's and having the images completely takes out the human error component/chance loggers may miss recording a good show. (2) A patented gas detection manifold that Selman offers to be welded in place at the flow line that reads the gas before it gets circulated through the possum belly. Selman included this service for free and provided the manifold set up/bull plugs and coordinated with the welder in person before the well. We tested this set up alongside the normal gas agitator set up and found it to read much higher gas readings than the agitator post-circulation readings! We’ll most definitely be using this set up on all of our future wells. This company also is equipped with Starlink services and live stream every sample live through the drilling process to its own in-house app which was really nice for the team and management to view both in the field and remotely back at the office. You get to see actual images live streamed into the app plus the mud log and gas readings which is huge. It keeps everybody in the loop. An added bonus was being able to speak firsthand with the owner Tom Selman at any time he is an extremely talented and motivated owner of this company and has instilled great standards and how his company has ran in his team goes by. Tom’s leadership at this company has really brought this team to a high standard of logging and we really appreciate that when we use them.
