RSVR Non-PETE Assets - Geothermal Energy, Compressed Gas Energy Storage, Carbon Sequestration

Catalog description

Credits 4. 4 Lecture Hours. Basic principles of thermodynamics, fluid flow through porous and fractured media heat flow and transport in geologic formations, applications in fundamentals of petroleum reservoir engineering and several aspects of subsurface processes involving conventional and unconventional reservoirs; geothermal energy, storage of compressed hydrogen as a fuel from any number of sources with an additional power generation component during decompression and recovery from the storage facility, air storage for power generation, and carbon sequestration; development of necessary theoretical and mathematical basis of the physics governing the various processes of flow, thermodynamic, and geochemical, for use by an advanced simulator to develop and analyze several realistic problems of increasing complexity involving system design and production. Prerequisites: Graduate classification or approval of instructor.
