Biostratigraphy is the branch of stratigraphy which focuses on correlating and assigning relative ages of rock strata by using the fossil assemblages contained within them. Usually the aim is correlation, demonstrating that a particular horizon in one geological section represents the same period of time as another horizon at some other section. The fossils are useful because sediments of the same age can look completely different because of local variations in the sedimentary environment. For example, one section might have been made up of clays and marls while another has more chalky limestones, but if the fossil species recorded are similar, the two sediments are likely to have been laid down at the same time.

For Coring Supervision of the whole coring operation our Core Specialists will provide technical input on all levels; coordinate the coring operation and ensure a safe and cost efficient operation. Responsible for collating and reporting all relevant coring data throughout the cored phase and concluding with follow up meetings and lessons learned for future wells. Roles include preparing pre-tour meetings for crews on location with presentation of the core operation and objectives, prepare risk assessments, present toolbox talks for all steps of the operation, liaise with coring engineers, drilling crew and core handling crew to optimize core recovery and efficiency, to report an after action review, to optimize future core operations.

Our Geologist support the wellsite geologist and will give operational geological guidance/input to the coring program, defines core point. In the core processing phase, he/she will be responsible for detecting the top of core, calculating the recovery and supervise the marking of core with depths, sample numbers and cut marks where required. He evaluates core gamma data. He does the petro graphic description, sedimentology including the chip sampling and facies description, but he will take also high resolution digital pictures from core end faces for geological description and documentation.
