DHRTC Summer School 2019 2nd DHRTC Summer School 12-17 August 2019

Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Centre, Lyngby, Denmark

MAIN TOPIC: Role of subsurface sciences in energy transition

The goal of the school is to provide the participants with a deep understanding of selected topics in energy harvesting methods from the subsurface and their associated challenges and opportunities. This year we have invited several renowned guest lecturers to present various topics related to the subsurface operations. There are two lectures and a research seminar given per day of the course. Some sessions will be devoted to presentations from the participants to share ideas with the experts.

Prof. Majid Hassanizadeh is Professor of Hydrogeology at Utrecht University. His research interests include fundamental theories of flow and transport in porous media, and applications to complex porous media such as fuel cells, diapers, paper, and biological tissues. He has more than 300 publications in journals, books, etc.

He is on editorial boards of a number of journals (Transport in Porous Media, Journal of Porous Media, Journal of Fluids) and has organized many conferences, workshops, and short courses. He is Elected Fellow of American Geophysical Union (2002), Fellow of American Association for Advancement of Science (2007), was Distinguished Darcy Lecturer (selected by US National Groundwater Association) in 2012; recipient of Honorary Degree of Doctor-Ingenieur from Stuttgart University (2008), von Humboldt Prize (2010), Don and Betty Kirkham Soil Physics Award (2011), Advanced Research Grant from European Research Council (2013), and Royal medal of honor “Knight in the Order of Netherlands Lion” (2015).

Dr. Mohammad Karimi-Fard is a senior research scientist in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University. His research interests include gridding, discretization, and upscaling techniques for fractured reservoirs. He holds a PhD degree in fluid mechanics from Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France.

Dr. Sarah Gasda is a senior researcher at Uni CIPR since 2011 and holds a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Princeton University, USA (2008). Her main research interests are in modeling and simulation of multiphase flow in porous

media. She has worked for over 10 years in the field of geological CO2 storage, with particular focus on the development of upscaled models for large-scale simulation. INSTRUCTORS

Dr. Vural Sander Suicmez is a petroleum engineer with a worldwide oil industry expe- rience. He has extensive knowledge of project valuation, field development design, well, reservoir and facility management, and oilfield operations. He currently serves as the country manager of Kuwait at Quantum Reservoir Impact (QRI), a Houston-based technology and advisory company. Prior to joining QRI, he worked at A.P. Møller Maersk in Copenhagen, Denmark, Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) in Seria, Brunei Darussalam, Shell International Exploration and Production in The Hague, The Netherlands and Saudi Aramco in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

Over the course of his career, Dr. Suicmez has participated in asset evaluation and field development planning in the Middle East, North America, South East Asia and the North Sea. Dr. Suicmez has been an industry guest lecturer and advisor at Imperial College London and Stanford University and the Editor-in-Chief of the Elsevier’s Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering. He holds PhD, MSc, and BSc degrees, all in petroleum engineering, from Imperial College London, Stanford University, and Middle East Technical University respectively, as well as an MBA degree from Cambridge University.

Dr. Suzanne Hangx is an assistant professor at the High Pressure and Temperature Laboratory at the Department of Earth Sciences, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. Her research is mainly about the physical and chemical processes that control rock material behaviour in the subsurface, along with the direct relevance of this field to socially relevant issues, such as geological storage of CO2 and geo-energy production.

She has a background in both academia and industry and has been working on understanding sandstone reservoir compaction, and how this drives induced seismicity and surface subsidence. For this, she has recently acquired funding through the Dutch DeepNL Research Program, funded by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and the field operator of the seismogenic Groningen Gas field (Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij, NAM).

Dr. Ali A. Eftekhari holds BSc and MSc degrees in Chemical Engineering from and Sharif University of Technology, and a PhD in geo-environmental engineering from Delft University of Technology, where he studied low-carbon-emission conversion of fossil fuels. He has several years of experience in downstream and upstream oil and gas industry as a researcher, industrial trainer, and freelance process engineer. He is currently a researcher, investigating reactive flow in the North Sea chalk reservoirs, at the Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Centre, Technical University of Denmark.
