PetroStrat will present at GCSSEPM 39th Annual Perkins-Rosen Research Conference in Houston

PetroStrat are excited to announce that we will be attending the GCSSEPM 39th Annual Perkins-Rosen Research Conference in Houston, from 4-6th December. Paul Cornick, Managing Director, will present a poster titled “A High-Resolution Bio- and Chronostratigraphic Zonation for the Wilcox Group, Deep Water Gulf of Mexico”. This poster showcases the groundbreaking work of PetroStrat’s team of world-leading geoscientists.

SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology) is an international not-for-profit Society based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their goal is to share scientific knowledge about Earth’s history and processes, and support the geological and environmental sciences communities.

The 39th annual Perkins-Rosen Research Conference will explore the latest advancements in deepwater sedimentary systems. The conference will showcase the progress achieved in these areas:

• Range a variability of deepwater play types and associated sedimentary systems
• Source-to-sink connectivity
• Physical modelling and technological advancements, including cutting-edge uses of AI
• Deepwater mudrocks and their role as seals, source rocks, and natural seafloor seeps

Poster Abstract

The foundation of good subsurface understanding is the establishment of a robust and high-resolution stratigraphic framework. Within the deep water Gulf of Mexico and around the Gulf Coast, the Neogene has been the focus of decades of biostratigraphic research aimed at refining the stratigraphy to help facilitate improved correlation, reduce exploration uncertainty and to support drilling engineering; however, the stratigraphy of the lower Paleogene remains relatively poorly resolved, most especially within the Early Eocene & Paleocene Wilcox Group where calcareous fossil recovery is sporadic. In recent years palynology has come to the forefront as a key to resolving Wilcox stratigraphy.
