Repurposing inactive wells into geothermal and training the existing workforce are valuable propositions in the energy transition. This session will focus on repurposing old and gas wells into either direct geothermal use or electricity. Additional focus will be on workforce transition, techno-economical and operational aspects of repurposing technology. We will explore learnings that have helped the development of O&G and how they can help benefit and advance geothermal development.
