Innovations in Geothermal Energy: Advancing Efficiency, Performance, and Sustainability

Wednesday, 22 October
Room 342BE
Technical Session
Join us to explore advancements in geothermal energy technologies, focusing on innovative methods and multidisciplinary approaches to enhance efficiency and sustainability. Topics include hydraulic fracture characterization, vacuum insulated tubular designs, multiphase flow models, and advanced fracture diagnostics using CWT, microseismic, and fiber-optic data. Gain insights into bullheading efficiency, high-water production zones in the Eastern Venezuela Basin, and well integrity in superhot geothermal reservoirs. Learn about thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical modeling, silica-based nanofluids for EGS, and heat production from salt domes using next-generation closed-loop systems. This session integrates experimental studies, numerical modeling, and industry-led initiatives to foster collaboration and innovation in geothermal energy solutions.
