MINES PARISTECH

INES ParisTech (Ecole des Mines de Paris) was founded in 1783, when mining was the forefront of the high tech industry and raised major issues such as worker’s security, economic planning, and even geopolitics (access to scarce or strategic raw materials).

Since the 19th

century, the institution has evolved with the development of the industry and today, MINES ParisTech develops and teaches all the engineering techniques as well as economic and social sciences.

THE GEOSCIENCES AND GEOENGINEERING RESEARCH DEPARTMENT

ocated in Fontainebleau, the Geosciences and Geoengineering Research Department, a research and teaching structure common to MINES ParisTech and ARMINES, a contract research association, develops its activities in Earth and Environment Sciences.

Its research skills cover geology, geophysics, geostatistics, hydrogeology, geochemistry, engineering geology and geomechanics.

Its research topics cover various issues such as the exploitation of mineral raw materials and fossil fuels, the use of underground space and its confinement properties (for instance for waste or gas storage), the management of water resources, the study of anthropogenised environments and natural hazards.

The Department is involved in teaching activities : civil engineers of MINES ParisTech, PhD teachings, specialized and continuous training programmes.

Based on its experience in specialized and continuous trainings, and with the help of 50 researchers and teachers working in close link with the industry, the Geosciences and Geoengineering Research Department has developed the Mining Professional Training programme which is detailed in this document. These programmes are addressed to mining engineers, geologists, managers working in the mining industry, reservoir engineers, geophysicists, jurists (non-exhaustive list)

LLIINNEEAARR GGEEOOSSTTAATTIISSTTIICCSS

YOU WILL LEARN:

These steps constitute the geostatistical structural analysis. At this stage, we are able to quantify the spatial variability of the studied phenomenon, including anisotropies, correlation distances, nested variability scales.

MODELLING

Critical data analysis. The experimental variogram. It is the basic tool of geostatistical data analysis. It provides an experimental view of the variability of the data, which will be taken into account at the modelling stage. The course presents the methods for experimental variogram calculation in both cases of regular and irregular sampling. The variogram model. The theoretical meaning of the variogram model is presented. Then the emphasis is put on variogram fitting. This means that the consequences of the choice of variogram model on the properties of the studied variable are presented, together with the meaning of the model parameters. Regularisation. As sample grades are not always measured on the same volume, regularisation explains how to mix data of various support, and what are the consequences on modelling.

Dispersion variance. This variance is used to quantify the dispersion of the variable in a finite domain, in function of the geometry and size of this domain. It is used for example to quantify the advantages of homogenization stockpiles.

Estimation variance, Global estimation.Estimation variance is used to assess confidence intervals of various estimators. Global estimation (i.e. estimation of the whole orebody or of large exploitation areas) is mostly used for economic planning.

ESTIMATION

Kriging. Kriging is the family of estimators proposed by geostatistics. After defining kriging as “Best Linear Unbiased Estimator”, equations of various kinds of kriging are provided. Emphasis is put on how to apply kriging to various cases (punctual and block kriging, mean known or unknown, anisotropic model, choice of data points for kriging: kriging neighbourhood…). PROGRAMME Theory and practice of basic geostatistics: - Variography: spatial exploratory data analysis, experimental variogram, theoretical models, fitting - Dispersion variance - estimation variance - Local estimation: theory and practice of kriging - Global estimation

This module can be split in two parts, Linear Geostatistics I and II (see page 11) Teaching method: Lectures in the morning. Tutorials on computer and exercises in the afternoon

OBJECTIVES Linear geostatistics enables us to estimate the value of a regionalized variable (elevation of a horizon, thickness of a layer, porosity of a rock, grade in metal or concentration in pollutant…) at a given location or over a given block: kriging provides an estimate which is a linear combination of the data, and associates it with a measurement of the estimation error through the kriging variance. In the same time, the compulsory modelling stage brings a better knowledge of the studied variable and its spatial variability.

NNOONN--SSTTAATTIIOONNAARRYY GGEEOOSSTTAATTIISSTTIICCSS

YOU WILL LEARN: The leading idea is to apply the traditional techniques to “new stationary objects” that can be extracted from the date. The various methods that are presented only differ by the nature of these objects. The first part of the course is dedicated to pinpointing non stationary behaviours and reviewing the clues for a possible solution through a simple numeric example with a few date regularly spaced in 1-D. The first approach -a very intuitive one- relies on a dichotomy. We consider that the global variable is the sum of two components, one (the residuals) that could be treated using linear geostatistics methods, the other one considered as a drift (or trend). This approach is very naturalists. Besides, it meets the approach commonly used for time series. This technique is known as Universal Kriging (UK). However, this apparently simple method should be handled with care: there is no reason why the demands of the naturalist, who requires a physical explanation to the dichotomy, should meet those of the geostatistician, who wants the residuals to be stationary. One extension of the UK approach is the external drift methodology where two sets of variables are present: the variable of

interest which is known from a small number of reliable date and an auxiliary variable, densely sampled but less accurate, which is supposed to give information on the general structure of the variable of interest. In the second approach, referred to as the theory of Intrinsic Random Functions of order k (IRF-k), we look for a transformation which turns the data into stationary quantities. This transformation is similar to a differentiation (of order k) which filters out the most regular components of the phenomenon. The advantage of this technique is that it broadens the range of structural functions by introducing the generalized covariances. It even offers a semi-automatic variographic analysis, finding the coefficients of the pre-defined generalized covariance terms, in a unbiased manner. Finally the IRF-k formalism makes it possible to carry on the estimation and to produce results similar to the splines technique for a specific choice of the generalized covariance. PROGRAMME This course deals with phenomena having a systematic trend or "drift". Two groups of methods: - Universal Kriging (global simple-shape drift); - k-order Intrinsic Random Functions (complex drift).

OBJECTIVES It often happens that the phenomenon under study is too complex to be represented by stationary or intrinsic models. It is then necessary to broaden the stationary hypotheses on the regionalized variable being studied. In particular, there will be no authorized variogram compatible with the data. This may be due to the presence of a trend which has a regular behaviour and is on the same scale as the domain under study (low frequency phenomena).

MMUULLTTIIVVAARRIIAATTEE GGEEOOSSTTAATTIISSTTIICCSS

YOU WILL LEARN: BASIC MULTIVARIATE STATISTICS

: recalls on linear regression

MULTIVARIATE STRUCTURAL TOOLS:

cross-covariance and cross-variogram. These tools allow quantifying the spatial relationships between the variables. Most common models are presented, such as intrinsic correlation model, or linear coregionalization model.

COKRIGING

Simplifications of cokriging, due to specific models and/or specific types of sampling are presented, such as collocated cokriging, kriging with external drift.

: cokriging is the estimation method proposed by geostatistics for multivariate applications. General equations for isotopic or heterotopic case are given.

FACTORIAL KRIGING ANALYSIS

: it allows to filter or to map one or several of the spatial components on the model. This can be used for example to map short scale or long scale anomalies, for example for geochemical or geophysical survey.

While these subjects are not presented in the course, their existence is mentioned: - statistical multivariate tools, such as principal components analysis; - multivariate simulations, as simulation module is proposed later in the year.

PROGRAMME Several variables are studied together, for example in the case of polymetallic deposits, of sedimentary environments with a multi-surface geometry or of geochemical prospecting. Specific tools adapted to this kind of problems are introduced: cross-covariances and cross-variograms, cokriging, external drift, etc.

: 5,000 € PREREQUISITE Proficiency in basic geostatistics is required (see Linear Geostatistics training).

OBJECTIVES Multivariate geostatistics provides tools for characterization and estimation when several variables are available and must be studied together. In this case, the tools provided by basic linear geostatistics are not sufficient and multivariate geostatistics provides additional tools to study these variables simultaneously. It can be used for example: - to put in evidence spatial

relationships between variables;

- to improve the estimation of one variable with the help of other variables, sampled at same points or not;

- to improve the consistency between the estimations of several variables;

- to simulate conjointly several variables.

NNOONN--LLIINNEEAARR GGEEOOSSTTAATTIISSTTIICCSS

YOU WILL LEARN: Linear geostatistics enables us to estimate the value of a regionalized variable (elevation of a horizon, thickness of a layer, porosity of a rock, grade in metal or concentration in pollutant) at a given block: kriging provides an estimate which is a linear combination of the date, and associates it with a measurement of the estimation error through the kriging variance. In some circumstances however, and typically when dealing with skewly distributed variables, linear geostatistics may be insufficient. For instance, linear estimators may be far from being optimal. Or the kriging variance (which depends on the geometrical configuration and on the variogram, not on the date values) may be unrealistically low when the estimate is high and vice-versa. But above all, non-linear geostatistics is required when the problem is not to estimate the variable itself, say the concentration at a given location, but a non-linear function of it: typically when we want to estimate

if the unknown value exceeds or not a given cut-off (represented by a 0/1 indicator variable), and/or the amount of metal or pollutant at this cut-off (prediction of recoverable reserves). Different approaches will be seen: - Indicator kriging (i.e. kriging the indicator variable for the cut-

off); - Multiple indicator kriging (kriging the indicator variables for

different classes, corresponding to different cut-offs); - Disjunctive kriging (cokriging of indicators, taking into account

the relations between the different indicator variables); - Conditional distribution in the Gaussian case (after

transformation of the variable into a Gaussian variable). These methods provide for instance the probability that the grade exceeds a given cut-off on the sample support. However the support of interest (block, or selective mining unit, for instance) is generally much larger than the quasi-point sample support. This results in a lower selectivity, the distribution of block values presenting for instance less low or high values than the distribution of point support values. Change of support models will be studied, that allow predicting the global distribution of block values within the whole domain, from the known distribution of sample values. Techniques will also be seen, that take into account change of support locally, using the previously mentioned estimators of indicators, or other specific estimators (service variables, uniform conditioning). PROGRAMME Based on the structure and the arrangement of value classes, it is tried to estimate quantities above cutoff thresholds. Two major themes, among others: - support effects (the size of the samples is different from that of selection units);

- information effects (selection from estimators).

TRANSITION, BORDER EFFECT AND BLOCK MODELLING YOU WILL LEARN: The common thread is a real deposit where different methods are used, starting from the simplest estimation to arrive to more complex partial grade concepts. Each method is presented, insisting particularly on the concepts of transitions between units.

PROGRAMME Attendees are tutored step by step along the real case study of a metallic deposit. In particular, the partial grades method, developed on transitions between units, is studied in detail both theoretically and practically. Analyses conduct to schemes that characterize the geometry of the units, their mutual behaviour and the impact on mine planning. The interpretation of this schemes leads to simplifications of the estimator and to a simulation algorithm bases on Truncated Gaussians. Estimations are produced with respect to the transitions.

The resulting estimations constitute as many alternatives to the block model built by the geologist, comparisons are done.

Proficiency in basic geostatistics is required (see Linear Geostatistics training).

OBJECTIVES Simulations aim at providing possible “equivalent numerical orebodies” which present the same spatial variability as the real one, at the cost of local error eventually higher than estimation error. As simulated block models are less smooth and more realistic than estimated ones, they can be used for numerical tests on production methods.

MINES ParisTech (École des Mines de Paris) was founded in 1783, when mining was the ultimate high-tech industry and focused on issues related to economic planning, even geopolitical stakes. The skills of the institution have obviously followed the industrial development, and MINES ParisTech is currently studying, developing and teaching all engineering-useful techniques.

The assignments of MINES ParisTech are:

Training executive engineers, “Corps des Mines” engineers, PhDs and executives in continuing or specialized training;

Conducting research work in close link to the industrial and economic world and in cooperation with ARMINES;

Providing certain public service activities thanks to the library and mineralogy museum.

The research activities are organized in the frame of five research department: “Earth sciences and environment”, “Energy and process engineering”, “materials sciences and engineering”, “Mathematics and systems”, “Economics, management, society”.

MINES ParisTech is organized as one of the leading higher education and research institutions in France. Tow Nobel laureates are alumni: Georges Charpak (Physics, 1992) and Maurice Allais (Economics, 1998).

Created in 1967 at the initiative of MINES ParisTech, ARMINES is a contractual research association, a partner of important French Higher Education and Research Institutions.

ARMINES aims at developing “industry-oriented research” and provides its joint research centers with staff, equipments and functionalities up to the volume of its contractual activity.

With around 600 employees dispatched in more than 50 laboratories, the participation of the teachers-researchers of Higher Education and Research Institutions, and around 50 millions Euros of activity in 2013, ARMINES is the first French contractual research organization. It is thus reinforcing the R&D activity of the research teams of MINES ParisTech, the École Polytechnique, the École Nationale Supérieure des Techniques Avancées, the École des Ponts ParisTech and the École Navale, by orienting the R&D activity towards industrial issues.
