Overview
🔎 Course Description
This comprehensive course equips exploration geoscientists with essential skills in prospect evaluation using GeoX software. Participants will learn how to estimate geological chance of success (Pg), compute prospect volumes, model uncertainties, and perform risked resource assessment for portfolio ranking. Through practical exercises and case studies, participants gain hands-on experience applying GeoX to real exploration data.
🎯 Learning Objectives
✅ Understand prospect definition, risk, and uncertainty concepts
✅ Build probability trees and estimate Pg
✅ Calculate deterministic and probabilistic volumes
✅ Perform Monte Carlo simulations in GeoX
✅ Assess risked resources and evaluate portfolios
