Geostatistical Analysis of Spatial Distribution of Salt Bed Thickness

  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The data on salt bed thickness distribution are processed using the semi-variogram analysis. Two- and three-dimensional maps of bed thickness distribution, as well as the error maps are presented.
