Deliverable objectives Sample Clauses

Deliverable objectives. The deliverable D3.2 – Performance Testing tools 1st iteration is the description of the first release of the Performance Test tool as output of the Task 3.1. This report contains the first version of the F- interop Performance Test Tool and the required key enablers needed.

Deliverable objectives. The objectives of the Summer Challenges are: (1) to attract the young students to a university, and possibly to entertain a career in STEM degrees – to do this we decided to show the students what the university looks like, and in particular what degrees such as Chemical, Mechanical and Biochemical Engineering offer; and (2) to openly discuss the technology of hydraulic fracturing, the potential environmental footprint of the shale gas, and possible remediation measures.

Deliverable objectives. The aim of this deliverable is to describe and clarify the roles and information from each of the tools, LCA and MRA, and to identify a possible way for combining and harmonizing them in one general protocol. To our knowledge, such comprehensive protocol is yet to be introduced and it is not clear how this two-sided (LCA and MRA) knowledge can be applied to future exploitation activities. In particular, our goal is to develop an interface between the two tools in order to then implement it in the case of a specific project. The deliverable is organized as follows. The starting point will be an overview of the state-of-the-art, as well as an outline on the approaches with which these two tools are generally compared in industrial sectors. In the second section, a general overview of the main concepts related with both the life cycle assessment and the multi risk assessment problem is presented. The third section in dedicated to our resolution and the path forward implemented, before the conclusions, which are presented in the last section.

Deliverable objectives. The objective of this deliverable is to develop a workflow that can be applied to a broad range of samples from the S4CE field sites to rapidly and cost-efficiently assess changes to the subsurface microbial population as a result of geothermal powerplant operations and carbon capture and storage activity.

Deliverable objectives. The purpose of this deliverable is to describe and report on the operational deployment of the ORION® open path gas analyser at participating partner field sites and present the data collected during the trial to field-validate the system. Two such deployment scenarios have been covered in this report and the outcome of the trials validate the ORION to technology readiness level (TRL) of 7 (validation in operational environment). This outcome in turn raises the awareness within the S4CE and geo-energy community of new innovative techniques relevant to monitoring, reporting and verification of fugitive gas emissions.

Deliverable objectives. We provide mechanical properties of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shales, which is one of the promising target formations in UK, together with some European and American black shales for comparison. Measured properties include: density, connected porosity, elastic moduli, short-term compressive strength and long-term creep behavior. The data allow to better understand the behavior of fractures and fluids within shale rocks, which is important for the assessment of economic exploitation and environmental footprint of shale gas plays. These results will also underpin activities in several of the other workpackages.

Deliverable objectives. Within the S4CE project, deliverable D5.5 seeks to use the existing data from the St. Gallen geothermal project and validate the fluid migration path that can be expected due to the recorded seismicity with numerical models. The deliverable aims at finding the reasons for the seismicity that occurred at the geothermal drill site St. Gallen in order to better understand and confine the risk for future energy related operations in the sub-surface. By implementing an improved version of the proprietary software roxol (based on the eXtended Finite Element Method, XFEM), S4CE partner geomecon will compare the effect of a poroelastic stress transfer through the formation and the effect of a fast pore pressure transfer through newly created or existing fractures. Both effects can contribute to the reactivation of distal faults from the injection point and thereby trigger induced seismicity. The large-scale simulations will be fully hydro-mechanically coupled, taking advantage of the advanced computing and modelling capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics (based on the Finite Element Method). Data from field sites, in particular from St. Gallen, will be used for validation, within the tasks completed with Work Package 7 (WP7). The mechanisms which induced the seismic events in the course of the hydraulic treatment in the St. Gallen GT-1 geothermal well in summer 2013 have not yet been sufficiently clarified and stand out statistically on a global scale (SED, 2013; Figure 8).

Deliverable objectives. The work summarised in this deliverable focusses on the influence of fractures on the transport of fluid in shale rock mass. Modelling of a typical shale play fracture network has been conducted and simulation of fluid transport with increasing model size has been conducted to identify a so-called representative elementary volume for bulk permeability. This bulk permeability tensor, which is dependent on the rock permeability and the distinct fracture network appearance, may be used within reservoir scale simulations to analyse fluid transport on the large scale. The primary objectives are: • The incorporation of shale rock permeability measurements and analytical model validation into meso-scale simulations of fluid transport in shale rock mass • The development of a workflow to upscale bulk permeability for macro-scale reservoir simulations • Conduction of macro-scale simulation of a generic to show the feasibility of the approach in simulation of fluid distribution and production within shale plays.

Deliverable objectives. The Executive Committee is the decision-making body of the Consortium, and shall consist of one representative of each Partner. The responsibilities of the Executive Committee include: i. overseeing all project programme activities ii. approving interim bi-annual technical and financial progress reports produced using the project report template and submission of 18th months reports to the Commission iii. review progress in relation to the previously agreed milestones, and deal with unforeseen circumstances that may require the review of the project deliverables iv. reallocating project funds between partners if needed as approved by its members.
