The objective of this course unit is to standardize the knowledge of student cohorts from diverse academic backgrounds. The course focuses in particular on knowledge of mineralogy, magmatic petrology, and associated metal deposits. These disciplines are addressed through a synthetic and comprehensive approach that integrates processes and establishes links between the main mineralogical and geochemical reservoirs. The lectures are supplemented by laboratory exercises in magmatic petrology and metallogeny through the study of macroscopic and microscopic rock and mineralized samples.

The module's content is organized into three sections:
1) a section covering the definition of concepts, an introduction to a tool (R), and a review of statistical estimation terminology and its application to the calibration of hydrological parameters;
2) a section on methods for analyzing uncertainties and sensitivity, and
3) a module on data assimilation applied to hydraulic modeling. The course unit will also begin with a presentation by a design firm executive, who will discuss the practical applications of this type of approach in engineering.

The focus will be on weathering processes and fluid-rock interactions, but above all on the structural and textural constraints that enable 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 the sometimes indiscriminate application of textbook models.

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