Biostratigraphy is often run as a service in petroleum exploration & development for age and palaeoenvironmental interpretation. It can also provide critical insight of the data generated for detailed sequence analysis including unconformities and sedimentation breaks in addition to the identification of flooding surfaces and condensed sequences. It can also be used to characterize facies (reservoir to non- reservoir).<\/p>\n
The integration of biostratigraphical data with seismic interpretation and sedimentological and petrographical data utilizes biostratigraphy\u2019s potential most efficiently. The main fossil groups used in biostratigraphy, their temporal and spatial distribution and the contexts in which they occur will be illustrated with numerous examples.<\/p>\n
The pitfalls of the use of biostratigraphical data will be discussed, which often relates to the geological context in which sediments were deposited.<\/p>\n
This course will introduce the applied use of biostratigraphy in both an exploration and development
\ncontext with working examples and will cover both marine and non-marine sediments.<\/p>\n
\u2022 To gain knowledge of the different microfossil groups and in which ages and palaeoenvironments they can be utilized
\n\u2022 To explore the concepts and applications of chrono-, litho-, biostratigraphy and geochronology.
\n\u2022 To develop an understanding of how biostratigraphical data can be integrated with other geological data to optimize its use as an interpretative tool
\n\u2022 To interpret palaeoenvironment of deposition by using biostratigraphical assemblages
\n\u2022 To use biostratigraphy as a predictive tool in exploration and development<\/p>\n
