Stratagraph Acquires Gisler Brothers Logging  

LAFAYETTE, La. January 5, 2023 –Stratagraph, a leader in geological services to the oil and gas industry for over 60 years, announces the acquisition of the south Texas logging company Gisler Brothers Logging (GBL). The purchase adds over two dozen mudlogging units with industry-leading Flame Ionization Detection (FID) gas detection systems to the company’s fleet. The acquisition continues to reinforce Stratagraph’s strong commitment to the oilfield service sector in both South and West Texas. The addition of Gisler Brothers Logging will expand Stratagraph’s capacity to meet growing client needs while widening the regional footprint of the overall enterprise. This new segment of mudlogging business complements the existing list of services provided by Stratagraph, including wellsite and lab geological services, geosteering, geochemistry, production/completion chemicals, wellbore placement, and unmanned gas detection.

Since 1975, Gisler Brother Logging has strived to build a reputation based on hard work, communication, attention to detail, and safety. GBL is a 2nd generation mud logging company based in Runge, Texas. For over 48 years, the Gisler name has been synonymous with professionalism, honesty, and quality mud logging services in Texas. The mission and values of Gisler Brother Logging align with those of Stratagraph, Inc., making the company a perfect fit to continue the ongoing future success of both organizations. The new south Texas extension of Stratagraph Mudlogging is equipped with twenty-six working logging units and a full team of qualified loggers who have extensive knowledge of formations and carbonate zones throughout the region.

Owner and CEO of Stratagraph, William Hagan, said” I believe both Stratagraph and Gisler Brothers Logging have an excellent reputation in the geological service sector. The combination of both our knowledge and experience will enhance our service capabilities and commitment to the industry. We are excited to welcome the GBL team members to the Stratagraph family, and we know that their addition will, no doubt, contribute to continuing the growth and success of Stratagraph for many more years to come. “

For years, brothers Wes and Mike Gisler have run the family-owned business. With the new acquisition, Mike will move on to retirement, while Wes will continue serving GBL as the Division Manager. Wes commented, ” I am excited to announce the acquisition of Gisler Brothers Logging by Stratagraph. I look forward to working with the Stratagraph group, they have an infectious drive, a stellar reputation, and a great approach for tackling the future of our industry. The growth and opportunities that Stratagraph currently provides for its employees will only benefit and promote our employees. With the addition of GBL, we will be able to continue the growth and expansion towards future horizons.” Mike Gisler, former owner of GBL, stated,” I am very excited about the acquisition by Stratagraph. I believe that this will be a great opportunity for our employees and customers going forward. “
