GAUCHER J.

Analyst graduated to a Master's degree in Geopolitics and International Security from the Catholic University of Paris, Jean Gaucher has joined Lavoisier H2Geoconsult in May 2023. He follows the natural hydrogen techno-economic ecosystem and develop the company abroad. He assists also Eric C. Gaucher in the research and exploration programs.
Dr. GAUCHER E.

Geochemist expert in water-rock-gas interaction, Dr. Eric C. Gaucher is a world leader for natural H2 exploration as the task leader for natural hydrogen (Task 49) in the International Energy Agency's Hydrogen TCP. After 19 years in academic research (CEA, BRGM in France and the University of Bern in Switzerland) and 10 years in industry (TotalEnergies), he is now building bridges between the worlds of research and industry as CEO of Lavoisier H2 Geoconsult since June 2023. His work focuses on water-rock-gas interactions at the laboratory scale up to basin scale using experimental, field and numerical modeling methods. He is committed in all geo-energy sectors (Nuclear Waste management, CO2 & H2 storage, Geothermal energy, lithium extraction from brines, evolution of porous medium in carbonate reservoirs, environmental concerns related to oil&gas shale). He has published more than 120 publications in international journals (Nature Geoscience, Science...) and 3 patents.

VIOT A.

Alain has more than 30 years of experience in the Oil industry. He has worked as Data Engineer, Well Site Geologist, Operation Geologist and Production Geologist. During the last ten years, he has been a teacher in charge of various Well Site Geology courses, including on site individual coaching. He has developed a well appreciated tailor-made approach, for various companies such as TOTAL, ENI, HYPERGAS. More recently, he has been thoroughly involved in the development of a technical Certification process, designed for well site and operation geologists, in cooperation with TOTAL and IFP training.

Dr. PRINZHOFER A.

Civil Engineer from the Paris School of Mines, Alain Prinzhofer completed a doctoral engineering PhD on the structural geology and petrology of the New Caledonian ophiolite at the Paris School of Mines, and a state PhD on melting processes of the Earth's mantle at the Institut de Physique du Globe in Paris (IPGP). As a researcher in cosmochemistry, he worked on the formation of the solar system at Caltech (California), then on natural gas at IFPEN. For several years as a precursor, he has devoted himself to research into natural hydrogen, a new source of renewable and non-polluting energy. He is Scientific Director of GEO4U (Brazil), and affiliated professor at the University of Paris and Rio de Janeiro. He has published 70 articles in international journals, 1 book, 8 patents, and approximately 200 communications in international conferences.

Dr. RICHARD S.

After a Ph.D. in physics, Simon occupied various positions in advanced R&D teams, mainly focused on optical components and systems. With Thales Research and Technology, he developed non-conventional laser sources. With Draka he worked on hole assisted and nonlinear optical fibers and then joined the Scientific division of the HORIBA group as a novel instrument scientist. Simon is now part of the R&D team of FEBUS Optics to bring his expertise in physical optics.

FABRE G.

Gilles has more than 15 years of experience in the Oil industry, with more than 50 integrated studies completed. He has worked as Development Geologist for major operator and consulting companies. He has developed integrated workflows, to adapt methods of modeling to fit objectives. Since 2012, he has been thoroughly involved in the development of Reservoir modeling trainings for IFP School and IFP Training.
