Stratigraphic analysis

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003640

The systematic study of rock strata to understand their sequence, age, correlation, and depositional environments. This geological discipline uses principles such as superposition and faunal succession to reconstruct Earth's history and identify potential hydrocarbon-bearing formations. Techniques include seismic interpretation, well log correlation, and core analysis to build detailed subsurface models.
