Date: 12 - 15 Nov 2024
Time: 4 days, Tues-Fri 2:00pm - 5:30pm
Type: Virtual
Tutor: Gioia Falcone, Rankine Chair of Energy and Engineering, University of Glasgow

Gioia Falcone's live online course is a comprehensive introduction to the main aspects of geothermal engineering, linking the subsurface to the point of sale. The class is aimed at geoscientists and engineers wishing to learn the engineering aspects of geothermal project implementation but it would also be suitable for oil and gas professionals transitioning towards sustainable energy opportunities. 

You will learn to:

1. Understand the different way in which a given geothermal energy resource can be exploited, and the associated uses.
2. Describe how open-loop and closed-loop engineering solutions work.
3. Interpret operational aspects of typical geothermal well designs.
4. Identify the uncertainties and risks of different exploitation methods, vis-à-vis resource sustainability over project lifetime.
5. Assess the impact of different well performance and well integrity aspects on ultimate recovery.
6. Discuss and analyse case studies involving different geothermal technologies.

This advanced course is intended for geoscientists wishing to learn the engineering aspects of geothermal project implementation, and oil and gas professionals transitioning towards sustainable energy opportunities.
