Digital geological models 1300-OCMBG4L
The aim of the course is to learn how to use computer software to create and analyze multidimensional, geological models and present advantages and disadvantages o such models. During the course students will learn how to prepare geological data to create models, import data to the geological software and create, visualize and analyze models. Computer software will be used to create and analyze geological profiles from well data, geological cross-sections and 3D raster geological models. Emphasis is put on three important issues that influence effectively of creating models and their creditability: preparing data bases of geological data, resolution of input data and models verification: for example by using balancing techniques and geological cross-section or interpreted seismic lines restoration. The course will be performed as a three 5h computer workshops.
Type of course
Prerequisites (description)
Learning outcomes
Student is capable of evaluating how digital models can help to analyze geological data. Student understands limitations of 1D, 2D and 3D geological models, and relation between quality of input data and creditability of the model. Student can create simple digital models using computer software also import and export data from the software (e.g. LogPlot, RockWorks, Surfer, Dynel2D.
Assessment criteria
Final test and active participation in the classes. One absence from classes is allowed. Corrective examination based on final test.
