Reservoirs for primary energy resources and storage
The Energy resources are at the heart of contemporary social debates:
♦ replacement of hydrocarbon resources,
♦ development ofan energy mix,
♦ storage of energies in a geological environment.
The objective of Theme Reservoirs for primary energy resources and storage is:
♦ to build Geological System Models associated with new forms of resources and use of the subsoil,
♦ to innovate in Prospecting and monitoring tools,
♦ to develop synergies between: geology-geophysics, mineralogy-geochemistry of fluids, thermodynamic reactions approached from an experimental or numerical point of view. lobjective is dOptimize the characterization, dynamics and modeling of these reservoirs.

The scientific questions of the theme Reservoirs for primary energy resources and storage
The main question of the theme Grestock is:
♦ What geological concepts for new fluid resources (geothermal, gas, lithium) and storage (energy, acid gas, radioactive waste) in the context of the energy transition?
This question, extremely broad, because of the various but complementary skills of the different members of the team, is broken down into sub-questions:
♦ What are Geological parameters controlling the geometry of the reservoirs, fluid dynamics, and storage sites?
♦ What new methodologies and metlogies Less costly and more efficient in the characterization of the subsoil and fluids would make it possible to identify resources, determine storage volumes and control the management of extractions and storages?
♦ How Characterize the nature and reactivity of fluids and rocks To understand the evolution in time and space in the perimeter of production and storage areas?
♦ how to quantify, identify and master the Environmental and societal impacts associated, in particular through the monitoring and security aspects of a storage or extraction site?
