A Modern Resource and Reserve Modeling Process for Structurally Complex Coal Deposits
Tuesday, May 03, 2022, 03:30 PM - 04:45 PM GMT-7
Traditionally, modeling complex coal deposits in the Canadian Rockies has been a time consuming and inflexible process. Geologists often spent months manually interpreting geologic sections before using these to code a 3D Block Model. Working sections were defined in drillhole compositing and could not be changed downstream. Resulting seam surfaces were often jagged and not easily used by engineers in design.
