From core to log, MGPalaeo fuses decades of sedimentology experience with integrated biostratigraphic expertise to deliver powerful, cost‑effective results.
How Can MGPalaeo Help?
Sedimentology removes ambiguity, providing direct evidence for reservoir presence, quality, and continuity, thereby reducing uncertainty in exploration and development decisions.
By combining core descriptions, biostratigraphy, image logs, and other datasets, our sedimentological services deliver sharper depositional models, leading to fewer drilling surprises and stronger field planning.
Our Sedimentology Services Include:
- Core Description and Trace Fossil Analysis
- Scales from 1:15 to 1:200 to suit project priorities; detail where it matters, efficiency where it doesn’t.
- Digital outputs include Excel-ready depth-referenced grain size curves, sorting, litho- and depofacies, cementation, bioturbation levels, etc. for easy import into Petrel and other software.
- Quick Logs (1:70 to 1:200 scale): Rapid overview of facies and depositional building blocks.
- Detailed Logs (1:15 to 1:50 scale): Captures fine-scale detail—ideal for projects where the “devil is in the detail.”
- Flexible Reporting covering litho- and depofacies, depositional environments, and modern analogues as either:
- Visual slide decks for team presentations.
- Full written reports.
- Optional correlation and integration with nearby cored intervals, uncored wells, palynology, image logs and dip meter measurements.
Additional Services
- Regional / Field-wide correlations
- Wireline log interpretation of uncored intervals using well log characters, well completion reports, sidewall cores, and cuttings.
- Rock typing of cutting samples for lithology, grain size and permeability.
- Sidewall core descriptions
- Image log interpretation & core integration for deeper reservoir insight.
- Biostratigraphic integration for improved depositional and stratigraphic understanding.
- Digital output of data via IC, WellCAD and integrated platforms.
Workshops and Core Immersion
- Hands-on sessions on either project-specific topics or existing MGPalaeo selected core workshops:
- Half‑day up to full week experiences in the core library.
- Integrated workshops combining sedimentology, ichnology, and palynology.
- Learn facies stacking, depositional systems, and sequence models.
Please visit our Core Workshops page for more information.
Integration with Biostratigraphic Data
- When sedimentology and biostratigraphy combine, they unlock:
- High‑resolution depositional models.
- Stratigraphic control across disciplines.
- Streamlined project workflows and clear communication.
- Reduced uncertainty and cost in exploration and field programs.
