Hard Skills
AdvancedStratigraphic CorrelationThe process of establishing the equivalence of rock layers in separate areas based on age, lithology, and fossil content to map subsurface structures.
ExpertSedimentary Basin ModelingUtilizing mathematical models and specialized software to simulate the burial, thermal, and fluid history of a basin.
IntermediatePetrographic AnalysisThe detailed microscopic examination of rock thin sections to determine mineralogy, texture, and primary/secondary porosity.
IntermediateGeological Field MappingThe systematic recording of geological data from the field, including strike and dip measurements, lithology, and structural features.
