Hugues Nkulu received his B.Sc. in geology. He has gained practical experience on various mine sites across the Congolese Copperbelt, meeting with most of the different local geological facies.
The main objective of this course is to demonstrate the implementation of numerical modeling and geomechanics simulation in reservoir engineering. The course focuses on the practical applications of numerical modeling for simulation and analysis of geomechanics problems such as wellbore stability, geothermal analysis, flow analysis, and hydraulic fracturing.
Camille has more than ten years of experience specialising in geology, hydrogeology and environmental geosciences. Her background and experience cover a range of geological and hydrogeological projects, including pre-feasibility, feasibility, specialist studies for input into environmental impact assessments and water use license applications.
Itasca’s finite volume (FV) approach uses the shear strength reduction (SSR) method for numerical modeling. This formulation is far superior to more traditional limit equilibrium (LE) methods and offers several advantages over finite element (FE) methods as well.
In addition to continuum modeling, Itasca also offers engineering analysis using its DEM software—UDEC and 3DEC for jointed and blocky rock, and PFC for brittle intact rock, granular, or synthetic rock mass (SRM) engineering as well as for fundamental research.
