COLOG’s History
ONE THING IS FOR SURE WHEN DEALING WITH TECHNOLOGY
…change is certain.
Founded in Golden, Colorado in 1985, Colog led the way in providing clients with answers to questions about subsurface structure by obtaining borehole geophysical information that was both repeatable and defensible. Throughout the years, COLOG was able to understand the value of technology transfer and apply it to trenchless applications which produced new opportunities in the 90’s. By adapting tools and instrumentation to fit the needs of their growing clientele list and the multitude of industries they represented, COLOG became known as an industry innovator. Seven years later, hydrophysical logging was added to COLOG’s scope of services to further expand its offerings.
In 1999, COLOG was sold to the water well drilling giant, Layne Christensen Company, expanding COLOG’s markets both domestically and abroad. Then, in 2015, COLOG’s ownership changed again, but this time it was purchased by long-time employees Mike Culig and Greg Bauer. Satellite offices were added to better serve geophysical and hydrophysical customers across the US, Canada, and Mexico, but the corporate headquarters continued to live in Lakewood, Colorado until Q4 in 2023. COLOG has now come full circle and has returned to its “home” with the purchase of its new facility in Golden.
Through continual consulting and teaming with various government, research, and private entities, COLOG has expanded and further developed new ideas, procedures, and equipment for subsurface investigations, monitoring, and evaluations. These ongoing collaborations have yielded ideas that promote better logging practices and results. Today, measurements such as Hydrophysical Flow Logging (HpL), Corehole Dynamic Flowmeter™ (CDFM™), Borehole LiDAR, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) are recognized as advanced, industry-leading technologies and COLOG has vast experience in the design and implementation for each one of these. The overall suite of measurements that COLOG can provide for your mining, water, infrastructure, environmental, or research project will be discussed and specifically planned to obtain the answers to your most challenging questions and this plan will be the most comprehensive available in the market today.
The COLOG name has a long-standing reputation as an innovator and leader in the field of borehole geophysical and hydrophysical logging. In fact, clients are now using the name COLOG to define the very process of obtaining downhole measurements. “We need to Colog that hole” is a phrase heard more and more…
