Superhot Rock: Superhot geothermal energy can be produced from natural or engineered reservoirs that maintain supercritical conditions in the subsurface. Proposed completion methods and technologies that could unlock hydrothermal or petrothermal superhot geothermal plays are conventional, engineered, closed loop geothermal, and hybrid. These technologies each play to different strengths, and, with adequate global investment, they offer innovative ways to extract high-energy-density, low-carbon, always available energy. By driving down costs and making large-scale geothermal power available nearly anywhere, Superhot Rock energy has the potential to disrupt and revolutionize the energy system.Well Construction & Completion: This session will focus on advanced materials and technologies providing well integrity, during well construction, completions, repairs and well monitoring throughout the well life cycle. These may include but are not limited to new cementitious technologies for EGS and ultra-high temperature applications in super-hot geothermal wells; heat pump or hot rock technologies where materials are subjected to constant thermal shock conditions; materials for high temperature electronic components; high-temperature corrosion-resistant metal, coatings, and elastomeric materials; field application of these and other relevant technologies and methods providing well integrity under geothermal environments. The session will welcome all geothermal material research, research and development work focused on new well integrity solutions, and field tests related to geothermal well durability.
