The Latrobe Valley in Victoria reveals an elevated geothermal gradient and is subsequently of excessive curiosity for geothermal developments, with a geothermal doublet already in place on the native aquatic centre, offering temperatures of as much as 68°C.
On this discuss, Rockwater and JRG Power will current a complete geothermal feasibility examine protecting geological exploration of the Latrobe Valley, aquifer modelling and geothermal doublet planning, with the intention of offering heating to a large-scale aquaculture facility and Australia’s first power from waste plant. The proposed geothermal improvement with a heating provide of as much as 14 MW can be the most important in Australia to this point.
Jorik Poesse is a geoscientist with a background in structural geology and geomechanics from his research at Utrecht College. He has labored on hydrocarbon in addition to renewable power tasks the place he has been specializing in geothermal exploration. As a geoscientist he’s skilled in integrating many disciplines required for the trade akin to seismic interpretation, hydrogeology, bore design, reservoir engineering and geomechanics. He has utilized his abilities extensively for geothermal tasks all through the Netherlands and Australia, supporting geothermal purchasers in exploration, useful resource evaluation, nicely design, tendering and operations.
Martin Pujol is a hydrogeologist engineer specialised in reservoir engineering/modelling for geothermal tasks. He skilled on the College of Geology in Nancy, France the place he obtained a MSc. He has over fifteen years’ expertise in offering geoscience experience and venture administration on geothermal and deep water nicely tasks. Martin has labored as a geothermal hydrogeologist in numerous consultancies in Europe and Australia. He’s now working as Direct-use and Reservoir Lead at JRG Power, a world geothermal consultancy with lively tasks all around the world from Alaska, the Caribbean, France, Hungary, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, numerous states in Australia and in New Zealand the place JRG is headquartered.
