2nd International Workshop on Geomechanics and Energy

When: 3-5 November, 2015

Description:

This Second International Workshop on Geomechanics and Energy will be held in Brussels (Belgium), from 3 to 5 November 2015. It will provide a forum for scientists and practicing engineers alike to present the most recent contributions of geomechanics to various fields of energy. The areas of interest are related to geomechanical application in the subsurface extraction of energy and the storage of waste, including the different levels of investigations: in-situ investigation, laboratory experiment, constitutive modelling and numerical modelling. High-quality scientific work and contributions in innovative applied-oriented technologies will be encouraged. Specific topics of interest include, but not limited to hydrocarbon exploration and production, underground storage and geothermal energy.

Who should attend:

We hope this workshop will have general appeal to everybody involved in geomechanical and geotechnical engineering of energy geo-system. It includes experts, companies, contractors, installers and academic researchers facing the need for a deeper understanding of the highly coupled response of geomaterials in interaction with energy infrastructures or waste storage.

Convenors:

Prof. L. Laloui - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Switzerland

Prof. B. François - Free University of Brussels, Belgium
