Using Palynomorphs Pollens and Spores to Biostratigraphic Zonation

Introduction:

Using Palynomorphs Pollens and Spores to Biostratigraphic Zonation,Palynology is the study of micro organic material such as pollen grains and other spores especially as found in geological deposits. 

Palynology is the study of micro organic material such as pollen grains and other spores especially as found in geological deposits. They are important group of microfossils and in general, are important tools for the petroleum industry, finding practical uses in all stages of the exploration process. Prior to drilling, micropaleontological methods can aid the acquisition of geological field data and enhance the quality of the reservoir potential assessment by way of sequence stratigraphic correlation, paleogeographical and facies analysis, depositional and source-rock maturation determination as well as migration modeling (Jenkins, 1993).

The accuracy and profitability of the drilling process itself can benefit from micropaleontological monitoring through the analysis of ditch cuttings, essentially allowing age determination, correlation of wells, unconformity evaluation, paleoenvironmental interpretation and lithostratigraphic as well as depositional sequence characterization.
