Course Description
September 20, 2023 - 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM MDT (GMT-6)
In this course you'll learn about geothermal energy and various geothermal energy extraction techniques. Learn to simulate the extraction of geothermal energy and model the heat extraction by producing hot water from and injecting cold water into a hot geo-pressured reservoir using CMG’s thermal and advanced processes reservoir simulator STARS. Create, modify, and analyze simulation datasets and results using Builder and Results in this hands-on training course. Capture relevant reservoir processes and wellbore heat transfer using STARS and quantify the effect of various reservoir parameters on energy extracted using CMOST.

Ali, a Senior Reservoir Simulation Engineer (P. Eng) with +13 years of Canadian and international experience. Ali’s primary areas of interest include reservoir simulation studies (thermal and non-thermal), pressure transient analysis, rate transient analysis, DFIT and field development optimization in conventional and unconventional reservoirs. In past few years he has been heavily involved in energy transition projects including Geothermal and CO2 Sequestration. He earned his M.Eng and Ph.D degrees from the University of Calgary, all in petroleum reservoir engineering.
