Agenda
Abstract
Geothermal Energy, with its high capacity factor, low footprint, low emissions, and the potential to be a significant player in the energy transition, is garnering heightened interest, especially with oil & gas companies looking to diversify into tangential areas. During this two-day school, a series of lectures will cover concepts in geothermal systems design and development and participants will have the opportunity to deploy their learnings and their knowledge of reservoir engineering to a series of field examples and a scenario.
