Content
Introductory geothermal reservoir engineering, through lectures and several practical projects and assignments, with the aim of providing the student with basic knowledge on the different aspects of the discipline as well as some experience in tackling practical problems.
  • Basic theory of fluid and energy flow in geothermal reservoirs
  • Utilization of geothermal systems
  • The nature and response of systems to utilization
  • Approaches to geothermal resource management and monitoring geothermal systems.
  • Analytical and numerical modelling of geothermal systems
Learning outcome - Objectives
  • Apply scientific and engineering knowledge to build conceptual models of geothermal systems
  • Apply analytic models to understand the performance of geothermal systems under utilization
  • Design geothermal reservoir models for numerical simulation and perform computer simulations using reservoir simulation code.
  • Design a monitoring system to extract key data from the system
  • Interpret monitoring data for system management
