Our team possesses extensive biostratigraphic and sedimentological expertise in the Middle East and Arabian Peninsula, with a proven track record of successful projects involving Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sections across prominent regions such as Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, Yemen, and Egypt’s Western Desert. Additionally, recent experience also includes multidisciplinary analyses of Tertiary sections and offshore wellsite in Oman.
