Training Course Overview
This Geostatistics – Using Software for Geospatial Analysis training course provides an excellent introduction to applying statistical methods in spatial data analysis. It covers key concepts in geoscience, with a particular focus on oil and gas exploration. The course demonstrates how to use the widely accessible Excel for geospatial analysis in initial geological and exploration research. It also presents advanced techniques for geospatial analysis using the free R software, including explanations of statistical methods and the relevant packages through practical examples.
The training course is designed to assist professionals in data analysis, geologists, and oil and gas experts in overcoming the limitations of off-the-shelf software. While these programs are useful, they can restrict the user's ability to apply their own knowledge and adapt models, as they rely on pre-set algorithms that fit data into predefined distributions. By taking this course, professionals will learn how to use free or low-cost software to enhance the capabilities of commercial tools, allowing them to unlock their full creative potential without restrictions.
This training course will feature:
- Explanation of geoscience and its applications in oil and gas
- Integrating information from various sources with varying degrees of uncertainty
- Establishing relationships between measurements and reservoir properties
- Using semi-variograms and kriging
- Hands-on practice in using excel and R for spatial data analysis
- Advanced concepts: Monte Carlo Simulation, k-means, numerical facies modeling, fuzzy logic
Training Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Learn the concepts and methods of geostatistics
- Understand the capabilities of Excel and R programming language
- Acquire the knowledge of available R packages for spatial data analysis
- Import, analyze and interpret results from spatial data
- Perform Monte Carlo simulation, clustering analysis and other advanced techniques
