Resource assessment

This course unit consists of two resource assessment projects based on case studies applied to the mining and oil industries. Students will have access to the digital imaging platform. They will be introduced to the use of specific interpretation and evaluation software that will enable them to manipulate the data sets provided (software such as Techlog, Coralis, Petrel, etc.). The results of the interpretation of this data will be summarized and presented in two reports or presentations.

The objective is to reinvest all the knowledge acquired by the student during the first three semesters through projects. Students will learn how to use appropriate tools, carry out a typical geological exploration workflow, and write an expert report within a set time frame, as required in the industry when a study is entrusted to a team of geologists prior to a project.

All knowledge acquired in S1, S2, and S3 is required.

Projects are evaluated in the form of two reports to be submitted.

Software training, loading and interpreting a dataset, producing a 3D or conceptual model, estimating reserves, reporting.
