Resource Assessment

This course unit consists of completing two resource assessment projects based on applied case studies in the mining and petroleum sectors. 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 analyze the provided datasets (software such as Techlog, Coralis, Petrel, etc.). The results of the data interpretation will be summarized and presented in a concise and well-reasoned manner in the form of two reports or presentations.

The goal is for students to apply all the knowledge they have acquired during the first three semesters through projects. Students will learn to use appropriate tools, carry out a typical geological exploration workflow, and write an expert report within a set timeframe, as is required in the industry when a study is assigned to a team of geologists in the early stages of a project.

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

Projects are evaluated based on two reports that must be submitted.

Software tutorial, loading and analyzing a dataset, creating a 3D or conceptual model, estimating reserves, and generating a report.
