The Maptek Geology Challenge

What is the Maptek Geology Challenge?

The Geology Challenge offers the chance to experiment with the latest Maptek geological modelling tools to demonstrate an innovative approach to a problem.

For geological models to be truly valuable, they must accurately represent the real world geology that industry professionals are trying to understand.

The techniques used play a key part in the successful outcome of any modelling project, alongside professional experience and expertise. Access to the latest Maptek software such as machine-learning assisted DomainMCF, Vulcan and GeologyCore, allows participants to experiment with tools and workflows that they can then bring into daily practice.

The Maptek Geology Challenge offers a chance to win personal and company prizes. It has concluded for 2023 and will return in 2024.
