GEOTREF project in the Guadeloupe 1ère news.

Guadeloupe 1ère channel reported in the evening news, November 5^th, on the geothermal energy perspectives in Guadeloupe within the GEOTREF program.

The geothermal power of Guadeloupe has been underestimated.

Scientific researches conducted in the last 5 years in the mark of the GEOTREF project are paying off. Guadeloupe geothermal potential seems to be very high and very promising.

Geothermal energy is endogenous and clean, much less expensive than electricity production based on oil or coal. Obvious Authority’s attraction towards it is enhanced by the actual context of energy transition. Besides, Elisabeth Borne, French minister for the ecological transition, and Frédérique Vidal, French minister for Research & Development, have visited the Bouillante power station on Sunday.
Electricity production based on geothermal energy has been raised up to 15 MW …

The eight GEOTREF PhD has been defended by Margaux Raguenel, the 25th September 2019, in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Géologie (ENSG) In Nancy: Modeling the thermo-hydrolic behavior in fractured reservoirs with unstructured meshes: application to the geothermal Reservoir of Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe.

Abstract

The quantification of natural geological resources (oil, gas, water, ore depo-sits, geothermal energy, etc) calls for a precise understanding and description of the geological heterogeneities and physical and chemical processes that influence their formation, their settings, their preservation and their recovery.

The seventh GEOTREF PhD has been defended by Dac Thuong NGO at 2 pm, the 27th June 2019, in the Ecole des Mines de Paris: Numerical modeling of hydraulic stimulation and induced seismicity in deep geothermal reservoirs.

Abstract

Geothermal energy is a renewable resource that can provide base-load energy for electricity production or heating purposes without, or with limited, emission of green house gases. However, the development and the exploitation of deep geothermal power plants is usually accompanied by induced seismicity – a side effect that can raise serious concerns to the public and may prevent large-scale application of geothermal energy.

The sixth GEOTREF PhD has been defended by Tawfik Rajeh at 2 pm, the 05th June 2019, in the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse: Modeling flow in fractured geologic media : upscaling and application to geothermal reservoirs.

The fifth GEOTREF PhD has been defended by Jeanne Mercier de Lépinay at 2 pm, the 29th April 2019, in the Institut de Physique du Globe de Strasbourg: Geothermal Energy: Magnetic Acquisitions and interpretations for geothermal exploration in Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles.

The fourth GEOTREF PhD has been defended by Claire Anjou at 9 am, the 11^th December 2018, in the Ecole Supérieure du Professorat et de l’Education of Guadeloupe: Geothermal Energy: Representations, Teaching and Contexts in the Antilles and in the Caribbean area.

The third GEOTREF PhD has been defended by Viven Navelot at 2 pm, the 31^st October 2018, in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Géologie de Nancy: Structural and petrophysical characterization of a geothermal system in a volcanic subduction arc context. Example of the Guadeloupe archipelago.

Abstract

Geothermal systems located on active volcanic islands lying above subduction areas are increasingly being prospected and exploited as they represent significant, renewable and accessible energy resources with relatively low operating costs. The Basse-Terre Island in the Guadeloupe archipelago and more precisely the Vieux-Habitants area gathers several indicators allowing to suppose the occurrence of a high-temperature hydrothermal system.
