Who should attend?

  • Although Hydrogen and Helium have been considered as ancillary components of underground fluids in the past, their valorization is now key in the Energy Transition process. This course provides participants with a clear understanding of Hydrogen and Helium specificities, and also a practical knowledge on sampling and valorization challenges of these two chemical species.
Public :
  • This formation is for geoscientists, geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers with E&P experience, but also for any professional with Geosciences, Reservoir or Chemistry background, getting involved in hydrogen/helium-related projects, R&D program or in Energy transition projects.

Level :Skilled

Prerequisite :
  • Degree in Geosciences, Reservoir engineering, Chemistry with 2 years of experience, or equivalent experience.

Course Content

  • H2/He EXPLORATION – PETROPHYSICAL ASPECTS - Duration : 5 Days

      • Industrial production of H2.
      • Current H2 usage and future of H2.
      • Natural H2 Dynamics: serpentinization, underground consumption.

  • SAMPLING & GAS ANALYSIS – LAB ANALYSIS - Duration : 2 Days

      • Different matrices (water, gas).
      • Instruments & Tools.
      • Analytical Workflow: on the field, in the lab, lab experiments.

  • UNDERGROUND STORAGE - Duration : 3 Days

      • Natural H2-bearing reservoirs – Reservoir Evaluation and characterization.
      • Underground Storage types: aquifers, depleted reservoirs - Storage characteristics (gas cushion, mix...).
