Summer School
Once a year, DTU Offshore brings together researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and students for an international summer school to explore cutting-edge topics in subsurface technologies and the energy transition.
This edition will expand its scope to Subsurface Storage, a growing field that addresses energy transition and environmental challenges. Topics will include:
- CO₂ storage in geological formations
- Hydrogen and natural gas storage
- Thermal energy storage
- Liquid and solid waste disposal
- Emerging concepts such as microbial hydrogen generation and methane hydrate storage
Stay tuned for more details on registration, speakers, and programme highlights.
Format and Audience
Each edition combines lectures, interactive sessions, and field trips, offering participants a unique opportunity to gain insights from leading experts and engage in discussions on the future of energy and subsurface technologies.
Who Should Attend?
- Students and Researchers interested in subsurface engineering and energy transition.
- Industry Professionals and Technology Providers presenting new technologies and developments.
- Regulators and Policy Makers shaping frameworks for safe and sustainable subsurface operations.
- Subsurface Storage Operators seeking to discuss operational challenges and share best practices.
Our summer schools have previously covered a wide range of topics, including:
- Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
- Geological CO₂ storage in depleted reservoirs and saline aquifers, monitoring technologies, and risk assessment.
- Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS)
- Salt caverns, porous formations, and techno-economic considerations.
- Mature Fields
- Enhanced recovery, reservoir management, and digitalization.
- Energy Transition and Subsurface Engineering
- Geothermal energy, subsurface monitoring, and sustainability challenges.
- Produced Water and Waste Disposal
- Safe injection and management of produced water and brines in deep saline formations.
