02 Reservoir Independent Geothermal Systems and Heat Extraction in Oil and Gas Wells: Where do They Intersect?

Monday, 8 September
Sugar Land Ballroom I-IV
Technical Session
Emerging geothermal technologies present unique challenges, from wellbore optimization to delivering the maximum thermal output for power generation. This session presents a range of solutions including technology transfer from the oil and gas industry to derisk new generation and first-of-a kind geothermal projects for balancing cost-effectiveness, performance, and risk for a scalable and sustainable geothermal energy framework.
