Jean-Jacques ROYER - Biography

Jean-Jacques ROYER is a CNRS Research Engineer. His research interests and active projects include:

  • Numerical modeling of heat and mass transfers in reservoirs
  • Characterization of rock properties using seismic attributes. Application to the estimation of uncertainty of rock properties using geostatistical methods (in coll. with IFP)
  • Advanced geostatistics for quatifying spatial variability and uncertainty of natural objects
  • Applied geostatistics
  • Modeling fluids and thermal transfers at the Soultz geothermal site (CEE, ECODEV Projects)
  • Fluid circulation and crustal cooling at large scale in S. Limousin (GéoFrance3D program)
  • Modeling alteration using archeometallurgic slags as natural analog of vitrified wastes (in coll. with A. Ploquin and the CEA)
  • Developing 3D numerical methods for modeling thermal and mass transfers in reservoirs (THERMASS projects) in connection with gOcad
  • Application to real case studies (Soultz geothermal site, French Massif Central ore deposits, Oklo natural fission reactor)

He teaches various courses at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Géologie (ENSG), Nancy, CESEV - ENSG, DEA - Université Henri Poincaré, in addition to supervising several Ph-D thesis projects.

He has served as the Treasurer of CODATA since 1986 and as the National Delegate to CODATA since 1998.
