Pivoting from Oil & Gas to Geothermal and CCUS: Leveraging Wells Expertise and Novel Technologies

Monday, 20 October
Room 330
Technical Session
Geothermal Energy is the only scalable green energy source capable of providing grid baseload power, and it shares significant technical synergies with the Upstream Oil and Gas industry. For decades, these industries have exchanged expertise, positioning them to accelerate geothermal wells drilling and completion while reducing costs through advanced technologies and best practices. Similarly, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) plays a crucial role in the energy transition by enabling the decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries and power generation, along with carbon removal from the atmosphere, contributing to net-zero targets. This session will explore how existing Well Engineering expertise, Well Integrity solutions, and Novel Technologies from Oil and Gas can be leveraged to advance both Geothermal Energy and CCUS
