Participants should have a degree in geology. The borehole geology course gives training in making geological logs, analyses of drill cuttings and cores, and, in some cases, fluid inclusions. Many of the participants receive training in collecting and interpreting data on aquifers and in making geological models of geothermal reservoirs based on their own data and data from other disciplines. Participants should have a degree in geology. The essentials of heat flow surveys, magnetic and gravity surveys, as well as resistivity depth soundings and profiling are covered.
Emphasis is laid on the application of computers in the interpretation of geophysical data.
Participants should have a degree in physics, geophysics or engineering. The course in borehole geophysics covers the essentials of geophysical measurements in boreholes used for geothermal investigations, with the main emphasis on temperature and pressure measurements, but including lithology logs such as electrical resistivity, caliper, porosity and density logs, and well completion logs such as CCL, CBL, inclination and spinner logs. The participants undertake well measurements, but most of the time is devoted to the interpretation of logging data. Participants should have a degree in physics, geophysics or engineering. The reservoir engineering course covers the methodology needed to obtain information on the hydrological characteristics of geothermal reservoirs and to forecast the long term response of the reservoirs to exploitation.
