𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐫/𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 Geologic modeling of reservoirs to evaluate resource prospectivity and potential is an essential tool for extending the available data based on our understanding of the subsurface. Characterizing geothermal reservoirs is complicated whether data availability is low or high, which can be counterintuitive. This session will include contributions that provide information on the utility and limitations of reservoir modeling approaches, what advances have been made over the last 20+ years, and what is needed as geothermal development continues.Thursday, ⏰: August 1, 2024, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Session Chair: Justin Birdwell Panelists: Tijn Nederstigt Chris Bowie Stanley Mordensky Nicole Wagoner Register HERE: https://bit.ly/3Y4LXxU

Important Session Alert 🚨 As a part of 2024 Subsurface Geothermal Symposium with American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), presenting... 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐫𝐬 - 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐫 Geothermal reservoirs are hosted in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks across the world and are each susceptible to varying effects from regional tectonics, active volcanism, crustal heat flow, thermal conductivity, and diagenesis. Consequently, reservoir characterization workflows, drilling technology, production techniques, and reservoir monitoring plans are highly variable depending on the type of geothermal reservoir being targeted. This session will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with exploration and development in all types of geothermal reservoirs from both geologic and engineering standpoints. The session chair is Eric Stautberg (Colorado School of Mines) Panelists include: Andy Sabin Tony Pink Shuvajit Bhattacharya, PhD Whitney Trainor-Guitton, PhD Emma McConville, MSc.

Kenya Geothermal Congress Recap 🌍 📸 This week, over 20 represented countries convened in Nairobi for the Kenya Geothermal Congress. The second iteration of the event focuses on continuing conversations on geothermal resource development. Currently, Kenya generates 48% of its electricity from geothermal resources. Kenya will soon join the 1 GW geothermal club! Led by the USA, this club also includes the Philippines, Indonesia, Turkey, New Zealand, and Mexico. As a partner and sponsor of the event, Geothermal Rising is proud to help continue to grow geothermal energy.
