Our Specialized Expertise

Our biostratigraphers are experts in the analysis of various microfossil groups, each providing a unique piece of the geological puzzle. We utilize a multi-pronged approach to ensure a high-resolution, reliable biostratigraphic analysis:

• Micropaleontology: We analyze foraminifera and ostracods to provide detailed dating and paleoenvironmental information for marine sequences.
• Palynology: We examine pollen, spores, dinoflagellates / dinocysts, and other organic matter to provide robust palaeoenvironmental interpretations, correlations, and age dating in both marine and non-marine depositional settings.
• Nannofossil Analysis: We study calcareous nannofossils, which provide exceptional resolution for dating and correlating rock units in marine carbonate sequences.

Our Integrated Methodology

Our biostratigraphic results are not delivered in a silo. We work to seamlessly integrate our findings with your other datasets to maximize their value:

• We create detailed biostratigraphic charts and biozonal schemes that can be directly used for well-to-well correlation.
• We collaborate with your geologists to calibrate well log and seismic interpretations, providing a definitive age control for your stratigraphic framework.
• Our analysis helps to define key sequence stratigraphic surfaces and understand the timing of critical petroleum system events, such as source rock deposition and trap formation.

The Key Benefits We Deliver

By partnering with PANTECH CONSULTANTS for your biostratigraphy needs, you gain a significant advantage in your technical workflows:

• Accurate Well Correlation: Provide the definitive tool for correlating rock units across a basin, reducing correlation uncertainty.
• Validation of Seismic Interpretation: Use biozones to calibrate and refine your seismic stratigraphic models, ensuring their geological accuracy.
• Reduced Exploration Uncertainty: Gain a deeper understanding of the basin’s geological history and the timing of key events, which is critical for de-risking prospects.
• Robust Stratigraphic Framework: Build a solid, chronologically-controlled foundation for all subsequent geological and reservoir modeling.
