Engineering geology for geo-energy
Summary
Objective is to provide an understanding of the problems in geo-energy projects. Underground as storage medium for carbon dioxide, heat storage and radioactive waste and as energy source like deep geothermal systems.
Content
Keywords
structural geology, tectonics, natural and induced seiscimicity, stress measurements, borehole stability, hydraulic fracturing, deep geological disposal for radioactive wastes, deep geothermal systems, CO2 sequestration, heat storage
Learning Prerequisites
Required courses
Soil mechanics, Geomechanics, Rock mechanics
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- Construct a coherent geological model with the available data.
- Anticipate the rock mass and hydraulic perturbations for any subsurface projects (i.e. deep geothermal, CO2 storage, construction of deep geological disposal for radioactive waste).
- Design the rock mass and hydraulic perturbations for any subsurface projects (i.e. deep geothermal, CO2 sequestration,construction of deep geological disposal for radioactive waste).
- Use correctly the acquired data in the project for building a coherent interpretation.
Transversal skills
- Access and evaluate appropriate sources of information.
- Continue to work through difficulties or initial failure to find optimal solutions.
- Demonstrate the capacity for critical thinking
Teaching methods
Teaching, exercises, personal project
Expected student activities
Attendance at lectures, completing exercices, reading selected scientific publications and doing a personal work
Assessment methods
During the semester, written control and personal work.
