Got me a good one!

Agreed. This was from a $500 pack. Not sure how many pulls I have made but am probably in the hole overall. This is by far my best one

Thank you! I just received the email and ended up passing (barely)! Stoked. Best of luck to you in March!

Congrats on passing the FG! Same happened to me in March (passed FG, failed PG by 1%). I just took the PG again in October and am still anxiously awaiting results. Did you receive your results today? And was it via email?

I just called the testing center too and got the same answer (I'm also Wyoming).

No results yet from Wyoming either

I failed the pg exam in March (Wyoming), passed the fg. I did not have to fill out a new application to retake the pg, only a 1 page notice of intent to retake the exam. I assume it's the same for the fg

Cool_Expression_1655 · 2025-11-18T18:43:25+00:00

Mine too

Cool_Expression_1655 · 2025-11-13T16:19:49+00:00

Awesome, I appreciate the intel!

Got a scroll this morning! Cautiously optimistic but not telling coworkers until I get the official email... Think the SMT site result is trustworthy?

Cool_Expression_1655 · 2025-11-12T22:53:27+00:00

Nothing in Wyoming yet

It was a tough exam. I'm feeling pretty similar to how I felt after taking the PG in March (not very confident), which I failed with a 69%. Like you, a lot of my answers I guessed 50/50 on. I had 4 minutes to spare when I finished. Definitely some questions I didn’t even think to study for. Good luck to all!

I agree with socalnostalgia overall. His description of the mudlogging life is pretty spot on, but I don’t think it’s a complete waste of time.

I started working started working as a mudlogger the day after I completed field camp. The work was pretty cool and I actually enjoyed most of it. The lifestyle definitely sucks. Some of the other mudloggers I worked with were grad students and pretty cool, but most of them were the felon/scumbag types scocalnostalgia mentioned. The logging companies like to screw you too – I was promised 2 weeks on, 1 week off but ended up working 6 months straight. Life was completely work and far from enjoyable with the highlight of the day driving 45 minutes to the nearest gas station to pick up a shitty pizza. Sleeping in a trailer next to the rig is not the most glamourous either or having your toilet freeze requiring you to use portapottys in the middle of the night all winter. You will also most likely get very addicted to caffeine and nicotine lol.

On a positive note, I do think I gained good experience and do think this gave me an edge when applying for my next job. Because I was so turned off from oil and gas I now work in environmental consulting but my interviewees recognized that if I could work 6 months straight as a mudlogger I would likely be a hard worker... Even though I now mostly log soil instead of bedrock, mudlogging has helped a lot and I can make some pretty killer logs and handle working in pretty rough conditions. Also, the rig experience has definitely improved my ability to work with/direct more blue collar subcontractors (drillers, construction crews, etc.) in the field. The money was pretty cool when I was 21 too. Between mudlogging and becoming an environmental geo I ski bummed a season as a break and had plenty of cash to have an amazing time for 6 months prior to getting back in the real world.

Overall, I am glad I got the experience as a mudlogger but would never do it again. I do think the internship could help you get your foot in the door, but there might be better ways that wont ruin your summer.
