SEG2018 explores the challenges and opportunities ahead in the energy geotechnics industry presented by innovators and researchers who are focusing their efforts on crystallizing research and development into impactful industrial applications. For this purpose, SEG2018 has launched the Innovation Hub, a platform to bring practitioners, engineers, researchers and technology or service providers together to foster the debate around building the sustainable infrastructure systems and technology of tomorrow.<\/p>\n

This special session will become the forum for presentations, technology showcasing and for an interactive discussion covering among others: the path from research to market, new impactful solutions which claim their place in the future of our common industry as well as lessons learned from energy-related research and entrepreneurial ventures.<\/p>\n

Round-table discussion on: \u201cThe role of universities in systems of innovation & sticking to the vision\u201d

\"Terralog<\/p>\n

“Multi-Stage Fracture Injection Process for Enhanced Hydrocarbon Production from Shales”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Terralog Technologies Inc<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>provides petroleum and environmental geomechanics services for sustainable resource development. The company developed a Slurry Fracture Injection (SFI) hydraulic fracturing technology, which has been applied to place oilfield wastes, biosolids, and contaminated soils in the deep subsurface (geo-sequestration). Terralog also provides Cuttings Re-Injection (CRI) project management services that include technical-engineering support, project regulatory support, process monitoring and reporting, data management, and project documentation services for injection of drilling wastes (drill cuttings, waste fluids, muds, etc.). Terralog Technologies Inc. was incorporated in 1990 and is based in Calgary, Canada. It has operated projects in Canada, Norway, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Indonesia.<\/p>\n

\"R\u00e9sultatGeothermal energy has the reputation of being extremely efficient and environmentally
\nfriendly, of conserving resources, and of saving operating costs over the long term. At JANSEN<\/a> we have set ourselves the target of offering innovative solutions to let you benefit from geothermal energy and at the same time reduce installation costs significantly.
\nJansen stands for uncompromising quality. With over 60 years of experience
\nin plastic pipe production, the Swiss company promises reliability, high quality,
\nand innovative solutions.<\/p>\n

Up to half of all building energy is consumed for space heating and cooling, this must be reduced. Using the ground as a (geo)thermal battery is the most efficient way. In your city, basements, roads and metro tunnels are currently not renewable energy sources, but this will change with 4EE<\/a>. We provide a complete solution, encompassing design, construction and optimisation of shallow geothermal systems at any scale. Architects, engineers, power companies and governments on any project can thus work towards a complete sustainable energy future. Our target market includes large infrastructure projects, greenfield housing developments and new build commercial buildings that seek innovation recognition and benefits. The team has conducted feasibility studies for high profile projects in Melbourne and have advised several large consortia in key infrastructure projects. We have been featured in various media in Australia and Germany: RRR radio, SBS radio, SCOPE (Channel 10 science program) and Pursuit. 4EE, a complete shallow geothermal solution accessing energy that is already there; just by looking underground.<\/p>\n

ENERTUN: energy tunnel segmental lining<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

ENERTUN is an improved precast segmental lining to be used for tunnels excavated by Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). The segments are made of concrete and equipped by a net of pipes through which a heat carrier fluid can circulate and exchange heat with the ground, according to the principle of low enthalpy geothermal systems (heat pump systems). ENERTUN has three different configurations:<\/p>\n
