On completion of the module students will have experience in building models of subsurface volumes with relatively complex structural, stratigraphic and geochemical configurations/distributions.
Indicative Module Content:The module will be taught through a series of extended practicals:
1. Geological Modelling of complex geological situations, assessing sedimentary, magmatic and vein systems simultaneously.
2. Modelling and interpolation of geochemical data in 3D.
3. Complex structural modelling using off-horizon, drillhole and outcrop structural data.
4. Interrogating, manipulating and calculating simple volumetric models.
5-8. Advanced stratigraphic-structural model building exercise using Petrel.
