Vincentius Brilian

MEnergy; BEng
Postgraduate Student

Vincentius is a geothermal reservoir engineer with experience in delivering 20+ commercial consultancy projects and academic research across 15+ geothermal fields in Indonesia, New Zealand, and Turkey, serving clients from field developers, financing institutions, and government agencies. He is a current Master of Energy student at the University of Auckland, with expected completion in 2027, and holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia.

Vincentius’s research focuses on Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) modelling of fractured greywacke basement rocks in New Zealand geothermal systems, with case studies from the Rotokawa and Kawerau geothermal fields. Using stochastic DFN modelling with MATLAB-based ADFNE codes, he investigates how fracture orientation, spatial clustering, and intersections between minor fractures and major faults may influence permeability pathways within the greywacke basement of New Zealand geothermal fields.
