Short Course
SC-02 Exploration and Development Aspects of Geothermal Energy in Sedimentary Basins
Sponsored By the AAPG Energy Minerals Division & Texas Bureau of Economic Geology
Sunday 27 August
8:00am–5:00pm
George R. Brown Convention Center, Room 371 A
This course will provide a review of exploration and development aspects of geothermal energy in sedimentary basins. A variety of topics will be covered, including geothermal concepts (geologic features, thermal resources, geothermal play types); geothermal exploration in the subsurface; geothermal reservoirs; development methods (reuse of O&G wells, engineering systems, subsurface hydrothermal, produced waters heat recovery for direct use); data types from O&G relevant to geothermal prospecting; and environmental concerns around geothermal development.
Course Leader(s)
This course is for managers, geologists, engineers, geophysicists, and other geoscientists interested in learning more about technical aspects of geothermal energy resources and skill sets that are in demand for applications in subsurface geothermal energy development.
