Out to Old Aunt Mary's

Based on a postgraduate course that has been successfully taught for over 15 years, the underlying philosophy here is to give students an in-depth understanding of the relevant theory and how to put it into practice. This involves going into the theory in more detail than most books do, and also discussing its applications. It is assumed that readers, students and professionals alike are familiar with basic probability and statistics, as well as the matrix algebra needed for solving linear systems; however, some reminders on these are given in an appendix. Exercises are integrated throughout, and the appendix contains a review of the material.

Simulation is the fastest developing branch of geostatistics and simulating facies inside reservoirs and orebodies is the most exciting part of this. Several methods have been developed to do this (sequential indicator simulations, Boolean simulations, Markov chains and plurigaussian simulations). This book focuses on the last type of simulations. It presents the theory required to understand the method, along practical examples of applications in mining and the oil industry as well as tutorial exercises. Demonstration software to illustrate how these simulations work is available on http://pluridemo.geosciences.mines-paristech.fr Since the publication of the first edition, enormous numbers of papers have appeared in the literature on the subject. Plurigaussian simulations are now the preferred method for simulating facies in both mining & the oil industry. The new edition contains new case studies in both mining & petroleum, together with an extensively updated theory section.

Depuis sa création en 1979, le Cycle de Formation Spécialisée en Géostastique (CFSG) de l'Ecole des Mines de Paris a pour but de former, en 9 mois, des experts en géostatistique minière. Ce livre reprend le cours dispensé à l'Ecole des Mines à cette occasion. Il possède donc un caractère appliqué qui le distingue des autres livres de géostatistique linéaire, par ailleurs souvent en anglais. Partant d'un exemple illustrant le gain financier que la géostatistique apporte pour l'estimation des réserves, le livre introduit la notion de variable régionalisée. Le variogramme apparaît comme l'outil naturel pour caractériser leur double nature à la fois structurée et aléatoire. En plus de la théorie, les problèmes pratiques de l'interprétation et de la modélisation du variogramme sont traités. La deuxième partie de l'ouvrage est consacrée à la méthode géostatistique d'estimation, le krigeage. Sont alors traités la théorie du krigeage ordinaire et du krigeage simple ainsi que leurs propriétés. Un chapitre complet étudie les aspects pratiques de sa mise en œuvre tels le choix du voisinage de krigeage. Ce livre s'adresse à des ingénieurs et géologues confrontés à l'estimation des réserves minières. Le niveau de connaissance requis pour une compréhension parfaite s'arrête à la résolution de systèmes linéaires d'équations et aux notions de calcul différentiel. Les auteurs ont volontairement mis à la disposition du public un livre clair, précis et utile par son caractère appliqué. C'est un outil qui va simplement à l'essentiel.
