Mr Hebert is a geotechnical engineer with experience in both the mining and civil industries. He has provided consulting on many projects including underground mining (e.g. block cave mining, pillar stability), open pit mining, underground excavations (e.g. tunnels, caverns, nuclear waste storage) and dams.
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.
To be competitive, industrial companies improve process efficiency and optimize designs using numerical simulation, in addition to experimentation, to gain detailed understanding of each control parameter.
For over 20 years, Itasca has provided software and services for the pharmaceutical, chemical, materials processing, mining, oil and gas, and agricultural engineering industries. Primarily using Particle Flow Code (PFC), Itasca has worked on materials handling and processing projects that include:
Although PFC is developed as a general Distinct Element (DEM) framework, many of its components facilitate material handling and processing analysis:
These capabilities have permitted engineers and researchers to conduct equipment prototyping, to analyze material mixing and segregation, and to simulate: agricultural processing, composite materials, mine orepass flow, cave mining recovery and dilution, pipe wear, and tool-soil/rock interaction (drilling, rock-cutting, soil-ploughing), amongst other applications.
