While i was getting my hair cut...

Most recently while getting my hair cut, I was shocked to find out that my hairdresser had no idea that our software could do well correlations. I was taken aback that someone didn’t know this about our software, and yet, it got me thinking, that the worlds of well correlation and hairdressing perhaps have some things in common... 

So, let’s uncover the parallels between matching rocks in the subsurface and styling hair on the surface by grabbing your geological comb and hairstylist's rock hammer, and let's dive into the entertaining world where geology and stylish locks collide!

Just like hairdressers transforming a wild mane into a chic hairdo, aligning each adjacent hair to one another with the cut of their scissors, geologists look for style in the Earth's subsurface, meticulously peeling back the rock layers to uncover the hidden potential of a killer haircut. "I'll take some Cambrian shale with a Permian limestone highlight - voila, a perfect stratigraphic coiffure!"

Like a precise haircut that aligns the layers and frames the face perfectly, sequence stratigraphy gives the Earth's geological history a new contemporary look. Geologists trim away the layers, ensuring a stunning geological profile emerges from the apparent disorder of data. "There you have it, a chic depositional sequence that exposes the true beauty of the Earth's structure.”

Meanwhile, in the overheard conversations in the hairdresser salon, the person next to me was over sharing about their friends’ latest exploits in the world of dating. This had me thinking of another analogy, that of well correlation being essentially "rock match making" for geological data, but instead of swiping right, they're flipping through log characters, hoping to find the perfect match between different wells. "Hmm, upper shoreface Sandstone meets lower shoreface Sandstone? A match made in sedimentary heaven!"

As I left the hairdresser with my usual and unremarkable short back and sides, secretly wishing for a Mohican but being glad it was not a mullet, I am sure I left my hairdresser far happier in the knowledge that our software has you covered for well correlation. From geological layering to precision cuts in sequence stratigraphy, these seemingly unrelated worlds share more in common than meets the eye. So next time you're admiring your latest hairdo or pondering the secrets of the Earth's subsurface, remember that both geologists and hairdressers are masters of their crafts, dedicated to uncovering beauty, whether it's in rock layers or in those fabulous locks!

Anyway, if you are someone who did not know that our software has the capability to perform well correlation, please feel free to get in touch to find out more.

Or ask my hairdresser.
