Workshop
Bringing the ‘Seequent’ experience to resource estimation: current and future / desktop and cloud.
Resource Estimation software has typically been difficult to learn and use. At Seequent we pride ourselves on putting modern, easy to learn, intuitive but technically robust software solutions in the hands of our users. This approach is finding resonance and Edge use is growing rapidly.
In this workshop, we demonstrate how our customers are using Seequent’s current tool set to optimise their estimation workflows with:
- Tight integration of resource models with underlying geological models,
- UI driven model creation and parameter editing workflows
- Sophisticated validation and reporting
- Model regularisation
- Project management and version control
Workflows will be demonstrated with hands-on, practical examples.
We will also explore how new tools currently being tested by early adopters will shape estimation workflows into the future:
- Collaborative cloud hosted block models
- A new approach to democratise creation and use of conditional simulation models, connecting the ease of desktop workflows with the power of cloud compute
- Leveraging advantage from defined data formats and cloud data management
- API accessible geostatistical libraries.
Why You Should Attend
This workshop is a unique opportunity for resource geologists to stay ahead by learning about cutting-edge tools and workflows in Seequent’s products. Attendees will gain hands-on experience with the latest developments and get an exclusive preview of what's next in resource estimation technology. It’s an essential workshop for anyone looking to optimise their estimation processes and prepare for the future of geostatistical modelling.
