EAGE annual meeting (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers)
I had a great experience at the EAGE conference & exhibition. It has been the opportunity to engage with professionals offering very interesting services, such as Tessael, and to attend insightful talks by the renowned CVA Group. I was also pleased to present part of an expertise I made for TotalEnergies, in collaboration with some…

Tournemire underground research laboratory
I had the opportunity to visit the Tournemire underground research laboratory, which I use some of the data acquired during experimental tests of the response of a clayrock fault to fluid injection and reactivation. This site is used as an analog of a host rock or seal for geological storage. It has been of great…

New contract with TotalEnergies – CO2 storage department
I am enjoyed to start a new study for the CO2 storage department of TotalEnergies. I am asked to provide a comprehensive and quantitative model of the coupling between the mechanics and the permeability of clayrocks, as well as indications of the geological conditions resulting in the brittle/permeability increasing behavior of clayrocks, in order to…

PhD
My doctoral work for the ANDRA (the French National Agency for Radioactive Waste Management) is now complete. I and my colleagues were consulted for the estimation of the fault activity potential around the site selected for the construction of the Cigéo radioactive waste storage project. I saw this contract as an opportunity to gain my…

CNE2 – National evaluation commission relative to studies and research on the management of radioactive materials and wastes
ANDRA (the French National Agency for Radioactive Waste Management) asked me to present the results of my expertise to the commission (https://www.cne2.fr/), as the referent on fault stability over the next million years (safety measure for the integrity of the storage). I am very glad to have been entrusted with such an honorable event, which…

PATA workshop – paleoseismology, active tectonics and archeoseismology
I am glad to have participated in this workshop (https://patadays-2022.sciencesconf.org/), it has been an interesting event with much discussion and an interesting fieldtrip to study active tectonics markers in the franco-italian Alps and southeastern France. Featured image: scarp of a fault of recent (quaternary) activity near the Lombarde pass studied during the fieldtrip.
