Adrok Ltd.’s Post

🚰 Adrok Ltd. is developing precision targeting for Aquifers up to and over 1000m depth, depending on overlying geology. Our technology is a direct targeting tool whereby the Dielectric Permittivity of rocks within a vertical sequence is measured. Water has a DC of 80, whereas rocks have a DC of 5 to 30.  We can differentiate water-rich aquifers by exploiting this difference in Dielectric Permittivity. 💚 The greener way to find groundwater. "leave only footprints". Unlike drilling, an Adrok scan only requires access to the selected site for a few hours while the field crew carries out it's scans. Our exploration is digital, low energy and non-destructive - we find the optimum position for successful drilling in the more environmentally friendly way. No clearing of trees, bushland or farmland. No digging of holes. No land clearing permits. No potential for land or water contamination. No disruption to wildlife or livestock. Find out more...

Application of remote sensing in mining Remote sensing technology is widely used in detection of earth resources, prediction of earthquake and volcanic eruption, monitoring of environmental pollution as well as departments such as metallurgy, geology, oil, agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, surveying and mapping, weather, ocean and so on. Remote sensing technology is superior with characteristics of wide range, fast speed and low cost in monitoring and is convenient for long-term dynamic monitoring, etc. Subscribe to Mining Doc to know more about Mining: https://lnkd.in/exaHZBkV Read the full article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/evAdzS3t ----- If you are an organization committed to promoting mining events and technologies, we invite you to become our partner today.

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) presents significant environmental challenges, particularly in regions with extensive mining activities. Effective monitoring and mapping of AMD are crucial for mitigating its detrimental impacts on ecosystems and water quality. This study investigates the application of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to map AMD by fusing multispectral imagery from Sentinel-2 with high-resolution imagery from WorldView-3.

Speaking of the Mississippian of Southeast Saskatchewan: Brian Zinchuk's most recent editorial about the application of CO2 flooding to formations other than the Midale - in this case, the underlying Frobisher - made me think back 25 years to another life when I did big oil projects. Two major challenges when working the southeast are 1) complex reservoir architecture; and 2) pervasive and active water flow. I worked on a multi-year project for a client that wanted to gain insights into both, and the approach was to apply concepts of sequence stratigraphy on a regional basis. In the end, after hundreds of cores and what I guess to be 1000 core analyses, a somewhat reliable sequence stratigraphic system was developed, the results being published in the attached paper. So what's my point? Its this: all of southeast Saskatchewan's Mississippian oil has probably been found, and now, the challenge is to use advanced techniques to recover it. What??? Looking back, I wish that in 2000 I had the large digital core databases we have now, and also that there were AI systems to unravel, then track, undrained oil compartments. I also wish that in 2000 I had digital core logging tools that would allow real-time petrophysical and mineralogical data capture, with data feeding into the AI-derived sequence architecture. In the end, my words are simply fanciful geologizing, lots of blah.. blah.. blah..; what would be better would be a robust, regional, data-driven and AI-derived model that would permit the oil-bearing portions of stacked compartments to be threaded together using geosteered, long-reach horizontals. But in 2000, who had this sort of kit? Enjoy! #saskresources #saskopportunities

Take a look at the risky operation they had to carry out a few days ago near Guadix (Granada). The alarm was triggered after the discovery of a large crack that forced the city council to take the decision to trigger a controlled collapse. What would have happened if the crack had not been discovered? At Arantec we believe that continuous monitoring through technological solutions, such as those we have installed in some of the projects we have worked on, is one of the best options to reduce risk. Prevention is always better than cure. Engineering geology Mauro Häusler Davide Bertolo Rayan Dada

⚒ Sakariya Mines & Minerals : Scope of Geology and Geotechnics ⚒ #1 ROLE OF GEOLOGISTS IN ENGINEERING 👷 ⚒ Like Share and Support ⚒ - Engineering marvels arise through harmony between human designs and nature's canvas. Geologists bridge this vital intersection, applying Earth science to build safely and sustainably. - A structure's location, size and form must synchronize with the geological setting. Rock types, fractures, fluid pathways - these factors govern an engineering project's viability. Geologists assess bearing strengths, seismic risks, groundwater flow to guide design and minimize hazards. - Beyond physical constraints, geologists evaluate environmental impacts. Construction activities can disrupt land, water, ecosystems. Comprehensive geological insight mitigates ecological damage from the start. - Geological knowledge catalyzes creative problem-solving too. Where an engineer may default to one solution, geologists identify multiple options aligned with site conditions. This multi-layered approach, balancing human needs with nature's realities, leads to safer, smarter, more sustainable infrastructure. In our rapidly developing world, the role of the engineering geologist is paramount. As our built environment expands, their disciplined applications of Earth Science pave the way for engineering excellence along with care for the environment. #sakariya #sakariyaminesandminerals #data #skills #achivements #mineralprocessing #explore #geo #geology #tools #MiningIndustry #Technology #Safety #Productivity #technicalSkills #geologicalmap #map #Geotechnics

Is MPS a game changer in geomodelling? Can MPS help cracking the CCS nut? My latest piece on GEO EXPRO is out: https://lnkd.in/e4_sw9RX Prediction is the name of the game MPS provides superior geological model with more realistic 3D rendering of the geology However, some challenges still exist: -         How to constrain MPS with training image in 3D (and not in 2D). -         For carbonate reservoirs, where the platform / reef can prograde or retrograde, it is not easy to constrain the algorithm with a continuum of training image. Instead a training cube can be used but then the process might be overly influenced by the conceptual understanding. -         How to infuse MPS into an uncertainty workflow? Which parameters are set to vary and how to modify training images accordingly. It is an exciting topic and good news: I am working on it Thanks again to the GEO EXPRO team (Henk Kombrink , Marzena Pyteraf, Ingvild Ryggen Carstens) for giving me a fantastic medium to share my geomodelling thoughts Geomodelly yours

Brett Davis makes very insightful statement here; I've just received the latest issue of Economic Geology (Volume 119, August 2024). Check out this exploded three-dimensional lithological boundary model of the Kiruna area by Ervin Veress et al. This is a fabulous diagram that makes the geology instantly visually understandable. How many times do we go to consultancy reports etc with models where there is ambiguity in understanding the geometries because of poor delivery of the visuals? I have no problem visualising complex geometries in 3D, but sometimes it takes effort to comprehend some of the models presented. Sure, if we are given the model and have the software, we can get the model and disassemble it and spin it around etc. However, sometimes, we just want a quick, easy-to-understand picture, which is what this achieves. Presenting such images is a skill, something people like Pieter Creus, Jun Cowan, Michael Outhwaite, TECT Geological Consulting excel at, and I, for one, appreciate the effort that goes into it.
