SEDIMENTARY BASIN ANALYSIS

alt
Polish Geological Institute conducts pioneering integrated sedimentary basin analyses to develop a coherent genetic model of the basins to account for the details of its depositional architecture, and to determine the prospects for exploration of mineral deposits, especially hydrocarbons

 

OFFER

Sedimentary basin analysis includes the following studies:

  • Modern sedimentological analysis of a range of depositional systems, from terrestrial to deep marine and from clastic to carbonate
  • Identification of microfossils useful for biostratigraphic analysis (conodonts, spores, foraminifers) and allowing determination of the degree of source rock maturity (conodonts, spores)
  • Stratigraphic investigations using the latest event and sequence stratigraphic methods
  • Geological mapping works (subsurface geological mapping)
  • Petrographic and diagenetic investigations of organic matter
  • Tectonic analysis
  • Subsidence history analysis (including quantitative analysis) using numerical methods, and synsedimentary and post-sedimentary tectonic analysis
  • Burial history of sedimentary basins
  • Determination of diagenetic processes and porosity evolution in rocks


Analysis of sedimentary basin infill requires the following:

  • Use of all available stratigraphic correlation methods in association with seismic data analysis and interpretation of depositional environments (sedimentological and facies analysis)
  • Identification of the hierarchy of „structural elements” of the basin fills
  • 3D reconstruction of the geometries of depositional bodies
  • Determination of the occurrence of potential source, reservoir and seal rocks in depositional systems and cycles
  • Detailed temporal correlation of potential source, reservoir and seal rocks in well sections of oil and gas fields
  • Petroleum system modelling on a basinal scale
  • Definition and location of subtle, but potentially economic stratigraphic traps
