Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to participate in the Conference "Geotechnology and Energy AGH 2022", which will be held on October 19-21, 2022 in Krakow, Poland.

The International Conference "Geotechnology and Energy AGH 2022" is a continuation of the "Drilling-Oil-Gas AGH" Conference organized for over 30 years by the Faculty of Drilling, Oil and Gas of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow.

This year's conference’s main topic is "Digitization and decarbonization of the fuel and energy sector".

The aim of the conference is a substantive debate with the participation of scientists, experts, representatives of public administration, energy companies, fuel companies and the IT sector on selected aspects of the energy transformation and popularization of knowledge on the latest solutions in the field of digitization and decarbonization of energy companies and the fuel sector.

The key areas that will be discussed during the meeting are the digitization and decarbonization of energy companies and the fuel sector, the development of the renewable energy sector, the hydrogen economy, energy storage and transport, as well as challenges related to the geological storage of CO2 and environmental protection and energy waste management.

The conference "Geotechnology and Energy AGH 2022" is addressed to a wide group of recipients professionally related to the broadly understood energy sector, employees of research institutions and universities, government and local administration, as well as doctoral students and students.

Prof. Dr. Jerzy M. Stopa

Production forecasting using numerical simulation has become a standard in the oil and gas industry. The model construction process requires an explicit definition of multiple uncertain parameters; thus, the outcome of the modelling is also uncertain. For the reservoirs with production data, the uncertainty can be reduced by history-matching. However, the manual matching procedure is time-consuming and usually generates one deterministic realization. Due to the ill-posed nature of the calibration process, the uncertainty cannot be captured sufficiently with only one simulation model. In this paper, the uncertainty quantification process carried out for a gas-condensate reservoir is described. The ensemble-based uncertainty approach was used with the ES-MDA algorithm, conditioning the models to the observed data. Along with the results, the author described the solutions proposed to improve the algorithm’s efficiency and to analyze the factors controlling modelling uncertainty. As a part of the calibration process, various geological hypotheses regarding the presence of an active aquifer were verified, leading to important observations about the drive mechanism of the analyzed reservoir.

The hydrogen economy is one of the possible directions of development for the European Union economy, which in the perspective of 2050, can ensure climate neutrality for the member states. The use of hydrogen in the economy on a larger scale requires the creation of a storage system. Due to the necessary volumes, the best sites for storage are geological structures (salt caverns, oil and gas deposits or aquifers). This article presents an analysis of prospects for large-scale underground hydrogen storage in geological structures. The political conditions for the implementation of the hydrogen economy in the EU Member States were analysed. The European Commission in its documents (e.g., Green Deal) indicates hydrogen as one of the important elements enabling the implementation of a climate-neutral economy. From the perspective of 2050, the analysis of changes and the forecast of energy consumption in the EU indicate an increase in electricity consumption. The expected increase in the production of energy from renewable sources may contribute to an increase in the production of hydrogen and its role in the economy. From the perspective of 2050, discussed gas should replace natural gas in the chemical, metallurgical and transport industries. In the longer term, the same process will also be observed in the aviation and maritime sectors. Growing charges for CO2 emissions will also contribute to the development of underground hydrogen storage technology. Geological conditions, especially wide-spread aquifers and salt deposits allow the development of underground hydrogen storage in Europe. Full article
