Sedimentology

Our Sedimentological Services

Core Description and Trace Fossil Analysis

Specialists in siliciclastic, carbonate, and evaporite systems, MGPalaeo can provide core descriptions from 1:15 to 1:200 to suit project priorities.

Rock Typing & Grain Size Analysis

Performed on cutting samples to assess lithology, grain size and shape, visual porosity, and more, providing essential reservoir insights.

Borehole Image Log Analysis

Providing high‑resolution, continuous visual records of the borehole wall, allowing far more detailed geological characterisation than conventional wireline curves alone.

Global Experience

MGPalaeo has extensive experience working on projects across the world, delivering powerful, cost‑effective results.

Clastic, Carbonate, and Evaporitic

Global expertise on siliciclastic, carbonate, and evaporitic core samples.

Regional / Field-wide correlations

Individual well evaluations through to large‑scale regional investigations.

Flexible Reporting

Visual slide decks or full written reports, with optional correlation and integration with other datasets.

Integration is Key

Integration with biostratigraphy and other disciplines to improve depositional and stratigraphic understanding.

Case Study: Unlocking Deltaic Complexity in the Bedout Sub-basin, WA

Read how the integration of sedimentology and palynology leads to high-resolution depositional models and tighter stratigraphic control.

Integration with Biostratigraphy

Our key point of difference is being able to integrate sedimentology with biostratigraphy. When combined, these key disciplines can unlock:

  • Higher resolution depositional models
  • Greater stratigraphic control
  • Streamlined project workflows
  • Reduced uncertainty and cost in exploration and field programs

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.
