Subsurface Sedimentary System for the Energy Transition
A.Y. 2025/2026
Learning objectives
Deepening the concepts of sedimentary rock reservoirs, their different origins and heterogeneities.
Exploring the tools to investigate rock petrophysical properties in sub-surface exploration.
Constructing a reservoir model based on wells/cores data and evaluating the major factors
controlling the distribution of the heterogeneities.
Discussing the origin and occurrence of the different types of fluid resources exploitable from (or
storable in) sedimentary rock reservoirs (hydrocarbons, geothermal waters, CO2, natural hydrogen).
Introducing and evaluating the main numerical approaches to model heterogeneity distribution in
both carbonate and siliciclastic reservoirs including industry case histories.

Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students will have acquired knowledge on the different origins of sedimentary rock reservoirs, the investigation methods of their petrophysical properties, their economically valuable resources and their storage potential to mitigate global warming, the approaches to characterize and model their heterogeneities.
