Bill Power is an excellent and experienced course and training presenter. He has presented short courses in geological mapping techniques, potential field interpretation and analysis, basic rock mechanics, structural geology, and geomechanics.

His most recent short course presentation centred around gold mineralisation in Africa, specifically a fault zone related gold deposit in Africa. The course was offered on site for company personnel, and covered underground geological mapping techniques, structural geology, seismotectonics,  and exploration for seismically related fluid pumping or fault valve behaviour leading to gold mineralisation. Bill says "it is really fascinating to walk through and map underground exposures of fault zone materials, specifically fault zone materials that very likely were developed from ongoing and repeated seismic activity, even if it was only magnitude 5-6 earthquakes that occurred back in the Archaean".  

While at Baker Hughes Geomechanics Division, Bill presented short courses in Perth and Indonesia. These  courses covered the techniques commonly used in insitu stress estimation (development of “MEM” or mechanical earth models), and the downstream usage of these models to solve problems in oil and gas development and exploration, for example, wellbore stability, sand production prediction, fault reactivation analysis, analysis of fractured reservoirs, and analysis of compaction and subsidence problems. 

Bill is now keen to offer short courses on fault zone evolution and fault seal, including site specific characterisation of fault related energy and resources projects, including fault seal in oil and gas exploration and development, and fault characterisation and analysis in groundwater and fractured reservoirs. These courses would most likely be offered in conjunction with Titus Murray at Southern Highlands Structural geology, or with other specialised consultant or training groups.
