We aim to be the leading global stratigraphic consultancy, helping to shape the future of energy provision by providing clients with a solid scientific foundation for subsurface modelling, enabling strategic and informed decision-making.

 

• To champion integrated geological services, specialising in biostratigraphy and sedimentology. Our goal is to debunk misconceptions that oil-field Palaeontology may be ‘old school’ and develop new applications for fundamental real rock services.
• To be the service provider of choice, recognised for high quality, timely and cost-effective solutions, and a genuine multidisciplinary service range (micropalaeontology, nannopalaeontology, palynology and sedimentology).
• To maintain competitive advantage by utilising superior in-house laboratories, employing scientists of the highest calibre and applying fully quantitative methods as standard.
• To ensure knowledge transfer to our clients, imparting real understanding of the subsurface.
• To recognise the value of our staff and fulfil ambitions for development and training.

Services:

Our comprehensive suite of geological services can be offered singularly or integrated to form bespoke solutions that provide unparalleled geological insights into the subsurface.

 

Quantitative Biostratigraphy

 Biostratigraphy provides a valuable framework for understanding our planet’s complex history. It enables us to establish relative rock ages, reconstruct past environments and correlate formations (particularly useful in areas with poor seismic control and across basin margins). It is a fundamental tool in geological investigations for better understanding the subsurface and aiding in resource exploration.

PetroStrat has one of the largest teams of in-house specialist biostratigraphers in the world, with industry-leading and renowned experience and global knowledge spanning across all disciplines of micropalaeontology, nannopalaeontology and palynology.

 

Reservoir Geology & Sedimentology

Reservoir Geology at PetroStrat provides an integrated set of services that aim to characterise the rocks central to our clients’ projects.  We examine their physical properties and their spatial distribution, integrating this with a wide variety of other data types to assess the rocks’ suitability for the emerging challenges of the energy transition and natural resource sectors.  By analysing key characteristics, such as mineralogy, sedimentological features, texture, porosity, and permeability, we can improve our understanding of potential fluid flow through the rocks. 

 

 

Real Time Wellsite Services

PetroStrat is a leading global provider of real-time wellsite biostratigraphic services, renowned for its expertise in the field and recognised as one of the world’s largest service providers of its kind. All three fossil disciplines can be applied at wellsite to provide real-time subsurface navigation, enable more informed decisions, and maximise operational efficiency.
