Abstract

Society relies on large amounts of energy to progress and allow for a high standard of living. The recent severe climate changes require advanced technologies related to cleaner energy resources. One such technology beneficial for accelerating this current energy transition is geothermal energy. This type of energy is often found in fractured and karstified carbonate aquifers. Understanding the reservoir properties and reducing the risks of such subsurface-related activities is vital. This thesis attempts to understand the complex fractured carbonate reservoirs better and improve the numerical simulation capabilities toward large-scale uncertainty quantification.
