I have only used it for exploration projects but understand that with additional modules (such as pit design and production rates) it can be used for production schedules too. The software acts as a central interface for all of the drilling data from the borehole trace with customisable graphics or traces alongside (e.g.: geology, mag sus, assay results, struc info, etc) to the exporting of sections for field interp or planning; and resource block modeling.

As I mention throughout the review, Oasis montaj shines both for processing and visualizing data while working with gravimetric data . It's 2D and 3D geologic basement models can be really detailed and, depending on the interpreter, can be really accurate. Plus, they can serve as an excellent tool for oil exploration when integrating them with seismic and well log information. Since it is an expensive software, small companies or universities with low budgets would be better using other programming tools.

  • Geological basement modeling both in 2D and in 3D.
  • Processing and quality control on geophysical, geochemical and geological data.
  • Data both in the database or uploaded is provided through a spreadsheet and an integrated profile display window, so it is extremely easy to visualize the information or modify it.

Cons
Dassault Systemes
  • Interface is good, but could always be improved
  • Occasionally a little buggy when mapping DBs
  • Extensive additional module list; can customise experience and therefore cost but some would expect certain features as standard

  • The learning curve can be a little steep at first.
  • It is an expensive software, so there are several alternative options that require more programming but are cheaper or free.
  • It requires lots of processing power for it to work smoothly.

Alternatives Considered
Dassault Systemes
Lower cost and more user-friendly. My understanding is that the functionality is somewhat more limited but for our use in exploration it does the job and does it very well.

  • Using oasis montaj allowed to work on several projects for gravimetric data interpretation that represented a great profit for our business.
  • Oasis was an excellent learning tool that brought profit to our university since all the work we did were actual problems that when solved generated profit for the faculty
