The ninth GEOTREF PhD has been defended by Alexiane Favier, the 30th October 2019, in the Université des Antilles, pôle Guadeloupe In Pointe-à -Pitre: Evolution of hydrothermal fluids in the upper crust of the Lesser Antilles island arc in Guadeloupe: applications to the geothermal systems.
Abstract
This thesis, as part of the GEOTREF project (a multidisciplinary innovative platform for exploration and development of high-enthalpy GEOThermal energy in Fractured REservoirs), aims to improve the thermo-mechanical evolution of high-energy geothermal reservoirs. The geothermal potential of Lesser Antilles arc is known since the 1980s in the geothermal field of Bouillante in Guadeloupe. In order to develop this resource, it is necessary to identify possible new key targets, and to better understand the modes of fluids and heat transfers in high-enthalpy geothermal reservoirs.
