Key Summary
Introduction
The "Geoengineering " program aims to complete the initial training of engineers in the field of Geoenergies with specific competencies in geosciences, reservoir engineering, fluid production, and storage monitoring
This customized one-year training program is composed of courses selected from the 2 paths of the two-year Master program:
The Geology Geophysics Geoenergies (G3) path offers an integrated approach, which includes:
• Geological characterization (basin analysis, reservoir characterization, structural and sedimentological)
• Geophysical characterization (acquisition, processing, and interpretation of seismic data)
• Interaction fluids and rocks.
• Well Analysis (well logging and seismic)
The Engineering Geoenergies (EG) path proposes:
• To evaluate the deposits discovered
• To optimize their development as well as their production
• To monitor fluids for production and storage
