Geothermal technology is considered new once it is compared with the history beyond the oil and gas developments. Methods such as Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) is using the hydraulic fracturing technology developed in US shale oil unit to frac hot granite formations. The US Department of Energy (DOE) is exploring the connection between translating shale oil developed technologies into the geothermal industry. On the other side closed-loop systems, sometimes called advanced geothermal systems (AGS), are using the horizontal drilling technology. Canadian thermal developments over the last 20 years have a lot to offer to the geothermal industry.
Geothermal could become an increasingly important component of delivering on carbon reduction commitments, especially when paired with oil and gas production. This session focuses on the challenges relating to geothermal operations for the oil and gas industry and exploring new technologies and the economics.
