Session Location
Tuscany 6

Geophysics: This session will cover geophysical data acquisition, modelling, inversion, and interpretation related to geothermal. This includes geothermal exploration and monitoring of operating geothermal fields.Downhole Logging: Geothermal wells and their respective high-temperature downhole conditions impose different demands on drilling and logging tool technologies, which can impact the ability to maintain accurate control on measurement accuracy. This session will delve into the increased complexity of accessing geothermal resources via the wellbore and the unique challenges, and solutions, to ensure the wells are drilled, completed, and monitored in an effective manner.
