Isotope Research Laboratory

The main line of the Laboratory development embraces all modern trends in paleontology and stratigraphy used in prospecting and exploration of hydrocarbon deposits as prerequisites in reservoir modeling, such as:

- development of biostratigraphic methods based on small scale fossils and microfossils for biostratigraphy of drilling cores;

- improvement of methods for palynofacies analysis and assessment of hydrocarbon potential of sedimentary sequences;

- improvement of sequence stratigraphic methods for analysis of mixed marine-continental and continental depositional sequences on the East-European platform.

Activities of the invited experts are focused on graduate and doctoral students supervision providing the expertise in modern research approaches. Doctoral programs offered: Sedimentologogy, Stratigraphy, Palaeontology, High-precision Radiometric Dating, Isotope Geochemistry(including mapping of outcrops and logging of drilling cores).
