We specialise in the area of carbonate and evaporite sedimentology, petrography and stratigraphy, covering the entire stratigraphic spectrum. Our services are many, ranging from simple descriptive projects, analysis of porosity and fracture systems in carbonates, through to detailed reservoir characterisation. We also specialise in diagenetic studies. We have specific geographical expertise in Northern Arabia, Mexico, South-East Asia, Brasil Sub-Salt, the Barents Shelf and the Zechstein basin of the North Sea. We have recent experience of projects in diverse areas such as geothermal energy, carbonate-hosted gold deposits, hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage, nuclear waste disposal and typing and characterisation of architectural and archaeological stones. Additionally, we provide advanced carbonate/evaporite courses and fieldtrips.
