Under the Auspices of The Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mines
The course is designed to be accessible to government employees, energy professionals and students from a broad variety of discipline. Basic background knowledge in geoscience and petroleum geology will be an advantage to take best advantage of this course.
This 1-days training course aim to provide the basin knowledge of geothermal systems and help the broader geoscience community, new to the geothermal energy discipline to understand the basic principles the similarities and differences between petroleum and geothermal systems, the opportunities, uncertainties and challenges spanning from the geology to the drilling and completion engineering to the supply and end-user perspective.
Ultimately this short course aims at providing a first in-depth introduction to the geothermal energy systems demonstrating how the effective transfer of knowledge, expertise, technology, tools and workflows from the oil and gas industry to the geothermal industry is key to accelerate the take-off of geothermal energy development. However, important differences exist when considering the key subsurface parameters controlling fluid-flow, some drilling and completion engineering details and economic aspects which require adaptable innovative, smart and cost-efficient solutions.
Geothermal energy in all possible temperature ranges, can play a key role in the journey toward a greener energy world. Yet, several uncertainties on its profitability and the establishment of viable (social) business models are hindering the large-scale development of this alternative source of energy, especially in areas located in sedimentary basins where geothermal gradients/heat flows are not as favorable as in magmatic areas.
The course offers a balanced mix of lectures and hands-on on-paper exercises.
