SSD: ING-IND/30, GEO/11, 5 CFU (57 hours)
Teacher: prof. Christoforos Benetatos
LEARNING CONTENTS PRESENTATION
The course’s main scope is to provide the students with advanced geological and geophysical insights into studying hydrocarbon reservoirs with a focus on their potential development as CO2 or H2 projects.
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES
Students will gain knowledge in advanced concepts related to the geological interpretation of clastic and carbonate rocks, as well as in the analysis of geophysical well log and seismic data. Additionally, they will develop the ability to integrate and collaboratively interpret geological and geophysical data for reservoir characterization.
PROGRAMME
The program of the course includes the following topics:
- Basin analysis + Exercises
- Applied sedimentology (clastic/carbonate) + Exercises
- Advanced fault and fracture analysis
- Sedimentary and stratigraphic aspects of reservoir characterization
- Concepts of geological storage of CH4, CO2 and H2.
- Geochemical aspects during storage operation
- Log interpretation + Exercises
- Seismic modelling and interpretation + Exercises
- Seismostratigraphy
- Seismic integration in reservoir modeling
TEACHING METHODOLOGY
The course structure includes lectures and a variety of paper-based exercises, providing students with both theoretical foundations and practical application of the acquired knowledge and skills. Furthermore, group discussions and collaborative work are favored. The basic learning tools are the presentations and the material provided by the teaching staff.
