Mineral potential assessmentWithin the Mineral Potential Assessment field, MIR developed innovative modelling methods of remotely sensed and geoscientific data in order to identify favourable areas for mineral exploration. Various approaches have been elaborated for different substances such as diamond, Ni-PGE and VMS.

Hydrocarbon explorationWithin the Hydrocarbon Exploration field, MIR’s expertise focuses on multisource geological, remotely sensed and geoscientific data integration and analysis. The resulting information supports the optimization of seismic surveys planning, a privileged tool for targeting hydrocarbon reservoirs.
