Geological modelling by geostatistics | Training course
Build a sound geological model or a domain model conditioned to the observations.
Objectives
- Learn the basics of indicator kriging, its variants and application in geological and domain modelling in Isatis.neo
- Understand the theory of geostatistical simulations (SIS, TGS and PGS) used for creating a block model of a categorical variable, and some complementary options available in Isatis.neo
- Implicit modelling in Isatis.neo: for stratigraphic units and intrusive complexes
Application Domain
- Geological modelling prior to mineral resource estimation
- Domain modelling to improve mineral resource estimation within more homogeneous domains
- Geological modelling for geotechnical modelling within homogeneous space
- Geological modelling for petroleum reservoir characterization
Who should attend
This course is aimed at professionals who want to understand the theoretical and practical aspects of modelling a categorical variable grade uncertainty.
Course content
- Indicator kriging: univariate and multivariate variants
- Sequential Indicator Simulation (SIS)
- Modelling non-stationarity (proportion modelling)
- Truncated Gaussian Simulation (TGS)
- Plurigaussian Simulation (PGS)
- An introduction to implicit geological modelling by potential field method
- Unfolding
Training Materials:
- Theory: Slides will be communicated
- Practice: Training licence of Isatis.neo geostatistical software will be attributed to the participants; as well as a typical facies dataset.
Prerequisites
- Linear geostatistics (variogram and kriging method).
- Knowledge of Turning Bands Simulation (TBS) would be appreciated.
Training – Registration policy
Qualiopi label, a guarantee of the quality of our training
Our training courses are Qualiopi certified. That means that they comply with a unique French national quality reference system. This recognition guarantees the quality of the training courses we deliver and allows our trainees to be eligible for various French funding.
Registration Fee
Class fees include one set of course materials and one full Isatis license valid for one month.
Attendees are invited to use their own laptop for computer exercises. A temporary demo version of the software package(s) used for this purpose (i.e. Isatis, Isatis.neo or Kartotrak) will be freely supplied by Geovariances.
For courses to be held in Geovariances only, if you are unable to bring your own laptop during the training session, be sure to inform your sales contact and Geovariances will endeavour to provide you with a computer for the session duration.
Please note that admission will be only confirmed on receipt of your formal purchase order and after full payment.
