Join us for our Applied Biostratigraphy workshop on at the TMS Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Krakow on 6th November.
This interactive workshop, designed by our world-leading team of biostratigraphers, will provide attendees with a hands-on experience of the key stages involved in a typical biostratigraphic project within the industry.
Our team of biostratigraphy experts have carefully curated the content to ensure that participants gain valuable insights and practical skills.
Biostratigraphers are not just data gatherers but skilled interpreters who bridge the gap between the past and the present. The workshop demystifies the job role and career pathways to sheds light on how biostratigraphy is playing a key role in supporting the energy transition.
Workshop Overview
Unlocking the Past: Applied Biostratigraphy for Energy and Environmental Insights. Exploring the Power of Fossils in Modern Geoscience
Here is what you can expect at the PetroStrat Applied Stratigraphy workshop;
- Data Gathering: Practical microscope work identifying Ypresian to Campanian foraminiferal assemblages from the South Pacific
- Data Interpretation: Application of foraminiferal zonation and composite zonation (foraminiferal, nannofossil, and palynological) for age interpretation
- Environmental Interpretations: Using data to identify paleo bathymetry, surface waters, and substrate conditions
- Correlation Panel Creation: Creating a correlation panel with multiple wells tied using fossil events to aid in wider basin understanding
- Industry-Standard Software Training: Including IC and StrataBug
Reasons to attend
This workshop is ideal for anyone working in the fields of geology, geophysics, or petroleum engineering. By attending, you will:
- Gain practical experience in biostratigraphic techniques
- Learn how to interpret biostratigraphic data
- Improve your understanding of how microfossil assemblages and biozones can be used to correlate samples across multiple wells or even basins
- Network with other professionals in the field
Learn the importance of high-resolution stratgraphic frameworks
Biostratigraphy is a powerful tool for understanding the geological record, employing scientifically-gathered data to underpin informed subsurface interpretations. At PetroStrat, we integrate micropalaeontology, palynology, and nannopalaeontology, alongside reservoir geology, to create high-resolution stratigraphic frameworks.
These frameworks:
- highlight unexpected changes (e.g., faults, unconformities, facies changes)
- provide stratigraphic control as part of our integrated geoscience solutions packages
- interpret palaeoenvironments, helping our clients understand sediment provenance
- define sequence stratigraphy, correlating to global and regional events
- support real-time drilling and geo-steering
