Solving stratigraphic problems

Andrew Taylor, Skolithos Limited

I am a consultant geologist working on stratigraphic problems, and so spend time looking at and sampling core and cuttings stored in the BGS in Nottingham. 

This is an excellent facility where material can be recovered from storage and laid out very efficiently.  I’ve recently started to use the BGS online database, which once you understand the pathways is a great resource. 

Go to www.bgs.ac.uk/services/ngdc which is the National Geological Data Centre and follow the links to deposited data and use the advanced search to type in a well you are interested in.  The available reports are listed and can be downloaded or requested. This saves both time and money as it enables a quick review of the existing public domain data (in my case biostratigraphic reports) so that duplicating the analysis and unnecessarily sampling of precious rock, can be avoided. Instead I can either spend the budget on sections not previously studied or hand the money back to the client.  Everybody wins.
