H2020-MASC-ITN-ETN ParEssi: Partnership for Enhanced Subsurface Structural Interpretation.

Awarded: NOK 39,999

ParESSI is an interdisciplinary network integrating young scientists (Early Stage Researchers) from different disciplines with the ultimate scientific goal to establish a system-wide understanding of subsurface imaging of faults and fractures within a var iety of geological, energy and exploration environments. ParESSI brings together experts from universities (Aberdeen, Barcelona, Oslo, Stavanger)and others (NORSAR, etc) working on various aspects of fault and fracture imaging using a variety of experimen tal techniques requiring theoreticians, modellers and field geologists experienced in developing mathematical, visualization and interpretative models of fault and fracture architectures. Understanding and pushing the technology of the subsurface imaging and visualization of rock structures is of crucial importance to pursue long term scientific geoscience goals including the optimization of industrial exploitation of water, oil and renewable energy (e.g. geothermics), understanding of fault earthquake in ternal architecture, optimise the fluid pathways mapping across different fossil, renewable reservoir characterization as well as challenging the leaking issues within CO2 sequestration experiment. It is evident that a comprehensive understanding of fault and related damage imaging can only be reached by a cross disciplinary physics, earth science and signal engineering approach and that the relevance for the socio-economic sector is best achieved by the close involvement of industrial partners. The activ e participation of private companies (ffA, Midland Valley, etc) will support industrial-academic partnerships with the long term objective to optimally exploit fault and fracture information. This unique combination of expertise is a particular strength of our consortium. The integrated systematic training programme of ParESSI is specially designed to expose researchers to intense interdisciplinary collaboration traditionally fragmented within academic environment.
