Applied Reservoir Simulation for Low-Carbon Energy Projects

3 Hours

Introduction to geothermal, hydrogen, and carbon capture-storage-utilization (CCUS) projects. Review the key physics, mathematics, and engineering for each process, such as thermal modeling, equation of state for gas projects, and storage and recovery mechanisms for CCUS. Focus on how to build a numerical model with geological description and proper gridding, fluid models based on the fluid types, and energy production mechanisms, followed by uncertainty analysis. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
