Energy Resources Engineering studies new ways of prospecting, exploring and valuing energy mineral resources from a sustainable perspective. This Master provides knowledge, methods and tools to characterize and model the properties and processes that occur in the Earth’s subsurface, especially those related to geoenergy (geothermal, gas and oil) and geological carbon sequestration.
Basic and introductory concepts of Energy Resources Engineering:
Basic concepts on reservoir geology and geophysics, technological areas of upstream, like the seismic exploration, drilling, production, and management and planning of exploration and production.
Specialized concepts in Energy Resources Engineering:
Concepts and knowledge about the characterization of petroleum reservoirs, aiming at the reserves evaluation and management of production including geophysical interpretation and modeling, characterization of petroleum reservoirs by integrating different types of information, for the risk management and optimization of production, in all phases of a field development, from exploration to reservoir engineering and geothermal engineering
In order to promote the crucial relation between students, industry and academia, experts on a wide diversity of areas of Energy Resources Engineering are invited to share their knowledge and experience in our Seminars in Mineral and Energy Resources course.
