Application of geostatistical estimation and risk characterisation
methodologies to coal deposits is an area where significant
potential economic benefits can be achieved.
The geostatistical 'tool-kit' is easily transported to the coal
domain. The peculiarities of coal problems (as usual) are in
understanding the context of the problem properly. For example,
the estimation of deleterious trace elements and ash content
can be significantly improved by the application of robust geostatistical
approaches. This is because a geostatistical approach requires
better consideration of data, geological and domaining issues,
and proceeds by application of tools that are more data-driven.
There may be particular applications in coal for multivariate
geostatistical approaches, for which QG have the right skills
and software expertise.
QG consultants (in particular John
Vann) have experience applying geostatistics to coal deposits
in Australia and Indonesia. Our experience has also included
designing and running specific training in geostatistics for
coal industry audiences (including worked case studies).
Finally, QG have experience of strategic
consulting with coal clients, focusing on developing in-house
capabilities for improved resource estimation practices for
a major coal group. |
