This two-day course focuses on industry best practices to make data-driven decisions to optimize resources and capital during the various project phases:

• Exploration of geo-energy
  • data integration, conceptual modeling and well targeting
• Development of geo-energy
  • well testing, development of an exploitation strategy to sustainably supply geothermal fluids, and resource design criteria
• Utilization of Geo-Energy
  • Design phase, process design, project type and size selection, selection of materials and equipment
  • Mitigation of scale, corrosion and gases

In addition, guidelines on geothermal project economics, time scheduling, financial modeling and assessing project feasibility are included.

A brief outline of the course content on day 1 and day 2:

• Resource Exploration and Development
  • Integration of subsurface disciplines
  • Why a conceptual model?
  • Data-driven decision making to optimize the use of resources and capital
  • Pre-drilling resource capacity assessment methods
  • Well drilling
  • Well testing and sampling
  • Pre-operations numerical reservoir simulation
• Resource Utilization
  • Design Criteria, constraints and considerations
  • Power conversion technology
  • Mitigation of scale, corrosion and gas emissions
  • Tendering and contracting strategy
  • Construction and commissioning
  • Operations and management
• Project Economics and Time Schedule
  • Project development costs and time budgeting
  • Financial modeling

This course focusses on hands-on industry applied knowledge and lessons learned. The target audience are geothermal project managers, scientist and engineers.

The course shall be given by Manon Stöver. She has a background in petroleum engineering but switched to the geothermal power industry early in her career. She is a geothermal professional and enthusiast with a convincing track record in the worldwide geothermal power industry.

This course is fully booked.
