Teaching and training
With a strong academic background and extensive experience in theoretical and practical aspects of geothermal reservoir engineering and other disciplines relating to geothermal development, the Mannvit team can offer teaching and training to individuals or groups for professional advancement in this field of expertise.  

The team has been actively involved in the training of international geothermal scientists and professionals for a long time, and across diverse venues.  The training experience includes teaching at the Engineering Department at the University of Iceland, lecturing on geothermal reservoir engineering, geothermal well testing, well logging and numerical modeling at the United Nations University (UNU) Geothermal Training Programme.  Supervising students at UNU in their project work has been an integral part of the training efforts, as well as the professional training of geothermal scientists and engineers from Africa, Latin America, Oceania and China.  Furthermore, various courses and seminars have been held internationally. The Mannvit team is involved also in supervising M.Sc. research projects of international students of the School for Renewable Energy Science (RES) in Akureyri, Iceland.

Specialization by the Mannvit team in the numerical modeling of geothermal reservoirs using the TOUGH2 and iTOUGH2 simulation packages, with contributions to the development of these packages, has resulted in a much increased demand for training services by the team.  

Services for teaching and training are based on the demand at any given time and outlined on a case by case basis.  The team encourages requests for potential training programs and makes all efforts to accommodate the needs of the prospective clients.  

Project example
In 2008, Mannvit team member Vatnaskil trained a reservoir engineer from the Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) in high-enthalpy reservoir simulation using TOUGH2/iTOUGH2 multi-phase flow models and supervised the modeling effort within the Olkaria geothermal field in central Kenya.
