Model «Salt reserves exhaustion» in simulation modeling software program iThink
The problem of the exhaustion of mineral resources is one of the most important global environmental
and economic problems of mankind. The problem progresses, which is not surprising, since
the availability of natural resources limited, but the demand for them is growing.
In this paper presented a simulation model of the salt reserves exhaustion, which depending on the
number of input data can be used to simulate the salt extraction process with displaying the dynamics
of the exhaustion of these reserves in tabular and graphical data by years, and also to see how will
be changed along with this parameter wells productivity, the number of wells put into operation, the
number of conserved wells and many other important parameters.
To develop the model was used available materials about the salt deposits in Ishimbai area. Presented
such input data as salt reserves, the number of commissioned wells, the average productivity of the
well, the planned annual percentage commissioning, the planned annual percentage of conservation.
The model is created in the well-known simulation modeling software program iThink with iconic
cognitive maps. It includes three basic sub-models «Salt reserves», «Wells» and «Productivity», that
mainly determine the overall structure and state of the model. Presented the analysis of the resulting
model by software iThink that allows to judge the sustainability, adequacy and efficiency of the model.
The studies are very important for business planning, especially at this time when more and more
difficulties arise with the extraction of some minerals due to their significant exhaustion.
