Le Point Métier : Géologue

La géologie est la science qui traite de la composition, de la structure, de l’histoire et de l’évolution des couches externes de la Terre. C’est un domaine complexe qui amène à intégrer des connaissances allant de la cartographie de la surface de la terre aux données des forages effectués, des campagnes sismiques…Visualiser en 3 dimensions ces informations permet de comprendre, interpréter et analyser la forme du sous-sol et ses propriétés physiques (densité, résistivité,…).

Grâce aux données récoltées principalement par les Charbonnages de France, le projet de La Française de l’Énergie s’inscrit dans la continuité moderne de plus de deux siècles d’étude et d’exploration du sous-sol lorrain. Cette connaissance approfondie de notre sous-sol nous permet aujourd’hui de modéliser les veines de charbon et leur système de dépôt, d’en calculer leurs épaisseurs et leur contenu gazeux possible afin de positionner nos forages dans les zones les plus prometteuses. Le géologue est également un homme de laboratoire qui analyse les carottes recueillies en vue d’affiner sa vision du sous-sol avec de nouvelles interprétations. Ces travaux quantitatifs ont pour objectif la reconnaissance et la validation du potentiel d’une veine de charbon chargée en gaz dont la continuité s’étend sur plusieurs centaines de mètres. La perméabilité du charbon définie lors des tests de production effectués après le forage mesure la capacité d’une molécule de gaz à migrer naturellement dans le charbon jusqu’au chemin de moindre résistance à savoir le tubage de production que nous avons installé dans le puits.

Promises won't impact
climate change.
Your local resources, will.

Climate change is an undeniable reality. We can already see its serious consequences for our planet. It is now urgent to act.

At FDE, we refuse to participate in initiatives that generate pollution beyond our borders, even if they reduce the carbon footprint of our local territories. Whether it is a question of carbon footprint or pollution, there are no limits.

It is our duty to build sustainable energy solutions that move towards global carbon neutrality. Today, the most resilient and sustainable energy solution is even more self-evident: it is imperative that energy remains local, within short supply chains, as close as possible to the needs of local communities and consumers.

Considering these, at FDE, we are taking actions and offering tailor-made, local multi-energy solutions.

By making the most of local resources, our offer enables us to provide territories with energies with a triple benefit: reduced carbon footprint, economically competitive and contributing to the socio-economic development of the area. We choose abandoned sites, make the most of the potential of local suppliers and service providers, and participate in a local center of expertise that involves universities, local authorities and associations in the local energy project.

FDE lacks neither the resources nor the know-how to deploy tailor-made energy solutions for everyone and for the planet.

Our engineers embrace the energy transition with a pragmatic view.

Recovering abandoned mine gas avoids fatal gas emissions into the atmosphere, while local coal gas reduces the need to import much more carbon-intensive gases. Abundant solar energy is both local and renewable.

To support the energy transition, at FDE, we are constantly innovating, looking for new solutions for the future, such as hydrogen, a decarbonized energy, or CO2 sequestration in coal.

In addition, all energy produced by our Group is designed to be more virtuous. All these processes therefore make FDE the only French energy producer with a negative carbon footprint.

HSE POLICY

In accordance with its values and code of ethics, and with the aim of pursuing the objective of:

  • Guarantee the integrity of our assets,
  • Ensure a safe and healthy working environment for its employees and subcontractors,
  • Guarantee the health and safety of all personnel working on and off-site,
  • Limit environmental impact.

 

FDE wishes to promote the following HSE principles:

Identify, prevent and control impacts and risks to health, safety, security and the environment,

Develop the company's activities in a sustainable and eco-responsible manner,

Improve the working environment for its employees and subcontractors.

Consequently, FDE undertakes to:

Ensure the rigorous application of regulatory procedures in force with respect to safety, health, environment and the preservation of public security,

Impose operational management with advanced criteria for environmental protection, pollution prevention and energy optimization, as part of the ecological transition,

Systematically verify compliance with HSE principles through audits and practical exercises, with the aim of continuously improving the system and its performance,

Define indices and performance indicators for monitoring HSE activities and promote benchmarking to identify areas for improvement,

Encourage employee participation and involvement in health, safety and environmental protection processes through training and creation of tools for sharing experience and knowledge.

This culture of risk prevention and control applies to all employees, partners and suppliers. It involves setting concrete objectives and deploying action plans as part of a continuous improvement process to better anticipate tomorrow's challenges. This policy is reviewed annually, as are the associated indicators and targets.
