Geometallurgy tries to predict the instability the behavior of ores caused by variability in the geological settings, and to optimize the mineral value chain. Understanding the ore variability and subsequently the process response are considered to be the most important functions of an accurate geometallurgical study. In this paper, the geometallurgical index is presented as a new tool to...

the main purpose of this research paper is to compare qiujiahe formation (є1q) and longmaxi formation (s1ln) in north sichuan basin where shale gas exploration has not been fully researched, and hence represents the possibility of shale gas concentration under the complex geological conditions. based on valid laboratorial analysis, there are optimistic prospects for є1q and s1ln of research are...

The Alborz coal basin is located in northern part of Iran. The coal deposits of Shahrood in eastern Alborz, Zirab in central Alborz and Abyek in western Alborz were studied as typical coalfields of the basin. Shemshak Formation which is the main coal-bearing sequence was formed during the Triassic-Jurassic in the basin. It consists of sandstone, siltstone, shale and claystone, which variedly al...

SUMMARY Reflector-normal angles and reflector-curvature parameters are the principal geometric attributes used in seismic interpretation for characterizing orientations shapes, respectively, of geological reflecting surfaces. Commonly, input data set their computation consists fine 3-D grids scalar fields representing either seismic-driven reflectivities (e.g. amplitudes migrated volumes) or mo...

Geological maps are increasingly published and shared online, whereas tools and services supporting information retrieval and knowledge discovery are underdeveloped. In this study, we developed an ontology of geological time scale by using a RDF (Resource Description Framework) model to represent the ordinal hierarchical structure of the geological time scale and to encode collected annotations...

The use of digital information in geological fields is becoming very important. Thus, informatization in geological surveys should not stagnate as a result of the level of data accumulation. The integration and sharing of distributed, multi-source, heterogeneous geological information is an open problem in geological domains. Applications and services use geological spatial data with many featu...

and this has been a common practice within the British Columbia Geological Survey Branch for a number of years (MacIntyre, 1991). Geological data are commonly stored in CAD-based files that record points. lines and polygons that describe geological features. Additional infolmation that includes structural measurements and other descriptive features of field data are commonly stored in databa...
