The wellsite geologist, as the source of all operational geologic information, is the most important
link in the chain of communications between wellsite and management. The importance of the
wellsite geologist to the overall successful termination of any project whose aim is to find
hydrocarbons for exploration cannot be overstated. He is the exploration department's man-on-
the-spot upon whose shoulders rests the responsibility for obtaining (of insuring that) every
possible scrap of information which can be wrested from the earth and insuring that the data are
transmitted to the office in a concise but comprehensive, coherent report.
