  Future Energy Systems: Project: Fluid/Rock Interactions in Canada’s Geothermal Systems Undergraduate Thesis: Solubility of Anhydrite in Carbonate Hosted Geothermal ReservoirsCarbonate hosted formation waters within the Western Canadian Sedementary Basin are brines often oversaturated with multiple mineral phases at surface conditions. As the target waters for geothermal energy production, this is a cause for concern. The purpose of this project is to look at one possible scaling mineral, anhydrite (CaSO4), and determine (1) its solubility at temperatures from 50-150˚C and (2) its precipitation rate, if oversaturated, over the same temperature range.Method: Geochemist's workbench is used for equilibrium modelling. Batch reaction experiments are done to determine kinetic rate law parameters. These parameters are used to create kinetic rate laws, which are then used to execute reactive transport models, also with Geochemist’s Workbench.Project: Imaging, Characterizing and Modelling Canada’s Geothermal Resources I worked within a team to collect and interpret vast amounts of data from GeoScout. The focus of our group was to help determine the geothermal energy potential of Western Alberta between Hinton and Grande Cache. I interpreted wire-line logs to select formation tops and determine the presence of water. I used this data to create cross sections and identify possible formations of interest for the project. I corrected bottom hole temperatures and created a 3D temperature model for the area of interest using Voxler. I used Strater to construct basic cross-sections and display key well parameters for easy interpretation.
