This course aims to standardize the knowledge of students from different educational backgrounds. The course focuses in particular on mineralogy, magmatic petrology, and associated metal deposits. These disciplines are approached in a comprehensive and holistic manner, integrating processes and linking the main mineralogical and geochemical reservoirs. The courses are supported by practical work in magmatic petrology and metallogeny through the study of rock and mineralized samples, both macroscopic and microscopic.

The module content is divided into three sections:
1) a sequence defining concepts, introducing a tool (R), and reviewing vocabulary related to statistical estimation and its application to calibrating hydrological parameters;
2) a sequence on methods for analyzing uncertainties and sensitivity, and
3) a sequence on data assimilation applied to hydraulic modeling. The EU will also be introduced by a presentation from an engineering firm executive who will explain the usefulness of this type of approach in engineering.

The focus will be on weathering processes and fluid/rock interactions, but above all on structural and textural constraints, enabling us to propose innovative and original models of constrained deposits. In this course, we will emphasize the structural specificity of each deposit and the dangers of blindly applying textbook models.

Definition, typology, and in-depth analysis of naturally fractured reservoirs (NRF) in different geological contexts: different rock types (carbonates, clays, bedrock), burial, diagenesis, exhumation, folding, fault damage, cooling, mineralogical change. Anthropogenic induced fracturing systems (hydraulic, thermal), applications to shale plays, cap rocks and storage sites.
Integration of this knowledge into the exploration and exploitation of fractured reservoirs.
Concept and workflow for editing DFNs (discrete fracture networks).
Two-day presentation by Bertrand Gauthier of Total, free of charge: Static and dynamic properties of fractured oil reservoirs.
