Practical Geothermal Modelling with Petrel

Level: Foundation | Type: Classroom | Discipline: Evaluation Tools Techniques

This 5-day course is designed for geoscientists working in the energy industry who want to understand geothermal systems and apply integrated geothermal exploration, characterisation, and prospect evaluation workflows in Petrel.

The course combines geothermal fundamentals with hands-on practical exercises, guiding participants through the full geothermal project lifecycle from data integration and subsurface interpretation to prospect maturation and well planning.

The course focuses on:

  • Geothermal concepts, resource types, and key elements of geothermal systems
  • Integration and management of geological, geophysical, and well data in Petrel
  • Multi-physics interpretation and conceptual geothermal modelling
  • Temperature assessment and geothermal reservoir characterisation
  • Reservoir framework construction and temperature modelling
  • Natural fracture prediction and fracture network modelling
  • Geothermal play chance mapping and prospect evaluation workflows
  • Play chance analysis, trajectory planning, and development decision support

Throughout the course, participants will apply the workflows using realistic datasets and hands-on exercises in Petrel, building an integrated geothermal model and evaluating geothermal development opportunities.

This course can also be delivered remotely, and the duration can be adapted to meet specific project or training requirements.
