Innovative company
Business Service Vanguard
Business Service Vanguard (PTY) LTD was astablished in 1994 and russian sister company Metalin LLC is an innovative enterprise, which was founded in 2019 by the Director of the company, Doctor of Technical Sciences - Sergei Vladimirovich Brukovskyi and as the leader of a team of highly professional specialists in the field of digital geology, under his leadership a team of geologists and data processing specialists is managed, the development and implementation of digital technologies and tools to improve exploration and analysis, and collaborate with other parts of the broader customer base to integrate geological data into decision making.
Our team may be responsible for tasks such as analyzing geological data to identify potential mineral deposits or oil and gas reserves, creating 3D models of geological formations, using machine learning algorithms to predict geological events, and developing and implementing software tools to optimize management geological data and their analysis.
Dr. Brukovskyi takes full responsibility for studying all the latest advances in digital technologies in geology, as well as for creating a culture of continuous learning and innovation in our team. Dr. Brukovskyi be responsible for budgeting, resource allocation and project management.
Geological exploration problems
Searches and exploration of mineral deposits have always been and will be the most important tasks facing the geological service. The importance of geological exploration is constantly increasing due to the fact that they are designed to provide resources and reserves not only to existing mining industries, but also to quickly solve the problems of developing new types of minerals.
The combination of using all known traditional methods of searching for minerals on average gives no more than one productive well for every 3-4 drilled.
The cost of drilling one well on land averages from 3 to 7 million dollars. This means that oil companies, in addition to the cost of discovering and evaluating each new field, lose from 21 to 49 million dollars spent on drilling dry wells in which there is simply no hydrocarbon raw material.
In the case of searching for and developing oil and gas deposits in water basins, losses for drilling dry wells increase significantly, since the cost of one offshore well can reach 30-40 million dollars.
Dry wells offshore mean hundreds of millions of dollars wasted.
"GeoZond-Metalin" in the mining industry
To solve the problems of searching for minerals, a unique technology "GeoZond-Metalin" has been developed - registration of direct signs of the desired substance.
Unlike traditionally accepted aerial methods, the "GeoZond-Metalin" technology is based on the study of geophysical processes of interaction and interconversion in the "field-substance" system, which makes it possible to judge the display of the deep structures of the earth's crust on space and photographic images.
The exploration strategy using the "GeoZond-Metalin" technology is aimed at identifying areas of maximum manifestation of energy-mass transfer of the desired mineral.
