The first step in petroleum exploration is to build an integrated team with geologists on the top of everything. For doing so, we provide the following disciplines for our clients:
-
Sedimentary Basin Analysis
-
Structural Geology
-
Stratigraphy
-
Petroleum Geology
Sedimentary Basin Analysis
We utilize sophisticated software packages (PetroMod and Dionysus) to model the history of sedimentary basins.
Example of a deep water sedimentary basin
Burial history
Basin modeling
Structural Geology
Our experts in structural geology and stratigraphy, help our clients to characterize the evolution of basins, highlighting architecture, potential traps and migration pathways, depositional settings and chronology.
Folded structure
Structural discontinuities
Seal capacity/compartmentalization risk for fault blocks
Fracture sets developed over a large anticline in the Zagros Mountains, southern Iran
Mechanical stratigraphic controlled variations in fracture intensity
Discrete Fracture Network (DFN)
Stratigraphy
Our experts in structural geology and stratigraphy, help our clients to characterize the evolution of basins, highlighting architecture, potential traps and migration pathways, depositional settings and chronology.
We provide a wide range of methods to establish sequence stratigraphy. As an example, biostratigraphy uses micro- and nano-fossils of organisms and pollen to establish the age of sediments and correlate between sequences of rocks.
Sequence Stratigraphy
A classic dolomite reservoir
Timelines vs. facies boundaries in seismic
(Lithostratigraphy vs. Chronostratigraphy)
Petroleum Geology
Our professionals study the origin, generation, migration, accumulation, preservation, exploration and exploitation of oil and gas. We explore the entire petroleum system from source rocks, through oil and gas in reservoirs and traps.
The integration puts different pieces of puzzle together and an earth model will be generated which defines the full geologic characteristics of a basin, play, potential prospect and reservoir.
