Introduction to Geothermal Exploration and Development

Description

As countries and companies accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources, geothermal energy stands out for its baseload capacity and smaller land footprint than wind or solar. This introductory course provides a comprehensive overview of geothermal energy fundamentals for those looking to enter or transition into the industry.

Through interactive lectures, global case studies, and practical exercises, participants will gain literacy on geothermal energy and its global potential, the play-based exploration workflow for finding resources, drilling and subsurface technologies, surface infrastructure decisions, and economic considerations. The course will equip participants across technical with awareness of how geothermal projects progress from initial exploration through early development phases. Participants will exit better prepared to contribute to strategic and economic decisions in their own geothermal organizations and assets. With an experienced instructor well-versed in translating oil and gas capabilities to geothermal, this course offers the perfect springboard for pursuing additional training or projects in unlocking the nearly limitless heat beneath our feet.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the course, the participants are able to:

TARGET AUDIENCE

The Geothermal Exploration and Development course is an introductory level training course which is aimed at subsurface exploration and development professionals who have experience in the petroleum Industry and require re-skilling in sustainable Geo-Energy E&P. It is also recommended for any other junior and senior staff involved in new sustainable Geo-Energy Projects.

COURSE LEVEL

TRAINER

Your expert course leader draws on more than 35 years of experience developing, managing, reviewing and directing subsurface projects in all aspects of the energy business: from exploration business development (new ventures), through prospect maturation and drilling, to the appraisal of discoveries and field development. He has more than 31 years of experience with Shell International, accompanied and followed by 15 years of teaching Geo-Energy at university (FAU, Germany). He has also been consulting to energy companies and government organisations in the United Kingdom, continental Europe and North America. He was accountable for safety performance in Shell Europe for exploration & development geoscience operations and well delivery with a well-established safety record. He has in-depth experience in in R&D activities as scientific researcher, research manager, and product manager for software-based geoscience technologies including development, deployment and commercialization. He developed and deployed digital solutions for decision-based planning in subsurface projects in Shell. Moreover, he accomplished at formulating competitive strategies in business, R&D and technology deployment, translating them into actionable tactics and results. One of them, the cloud-based OSDU open source data platform development is now a Billion USD technology venture with a consortium of 230 companies from across the energy and IT industry. He also developed and executed Shell’s Graduate Training Programs as part of the Learning Organization.
