Geological modeling by geostatistics | Training course
Learn how to craft a robust geological or domain model conditioned to the observations.
Objectives
- Learn the basics of indicator kriging, including its variants and applications in geological and domain modeling using Isatis.neo.
- Understand the theory behind geostatistical simulations (SIS, TGS, and PGS) used to construct a block model of a categorical variable, along with additional options available in Isatis.neo.
- Explore the implicit modeling features in Isatis.neo for stratigraphic units and intrusive complexes.
Application domains
- Geological modeling before mineral resource estimation.
- Mineral resource estimation within uniform domains for better accuracy in resources.
- Geotechnical modeling within homogeneous areas.
- Characterization of petroleum reservoirs.
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),
- Modeling non-stationarity (proportion modeling),
- Truncated Gaussian Simulation (TGS),
- Plurigaussian Simulation (PGS),
- Introduction to implicit geological modeling by the potential field method,
- Unfolding.
Training material
- Theory: slides will be provided.
- Practice: a training license of Isatis.neo geostatistical software will be attributed to the participants, as well as a typical facies dataset.
Prerequisites
- Familiarity with linear geostatistics, including the variogram and kriging methods, is highly recommended.
- 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.
