About this Training
The global push for net-zero emissions has highlighted geothermal energy as a promising baseload contributor to sustainable energy systems, particularly in regions with suitable geological conditions. While geothermal assets' value is directly tied to their extractable Heat Resource potential, accurately assessing these resources presents unique challenges due to diverse geological settings, fluid systems, and recovery techniques. Traditional oil and gas reservoir assessment methods may be applicable but must be adapted to the specific characteristics of geothermal systems.
This 1-day specialized course equips technical and managerial personnel involved in geothermal projects with essential knowledge for resource assessment and project direction. Participants will learn about geothermal Resource Assessment methodologies and UNFC classification guidelines, understand the required data and modeling techniques, identify key uncertainties affecting resource outcomes, and master strategies for optimizing both appraisal and subsurface development concepts. The curriculum is tailored to help professionals make informed decisions in developing and managing geothermal assets across various geological and technical contexts.
