Location
Online Webinar
Date
Topics

Join us for a dynamic session that connects macro-level strategy—capital discipline, modularity, and faster development cycles—with micro-level technology advances, such as high-temperature drilling fluids and lost circulation control. Whether you're focused on engineering, investment, policy, or commercialization, this conversation will help you understand what it takes to scale geothermal, both above and below ground.

Starting time: 9am (Pacific) / Noon (Eastern)

SPEAKER HIGHLIGHTS:
Rickey Bird Jr. (Sinclair Well Products): High-temperature drilling fluids, lubricants, and lost circulation materials that solve real-world barriers to geothermal deployment
Nasikul Islam (Exceed GeoEnergy): What can transition from oil-and-gas style execution frameworks to increase the bankability for geothermal energy infrastructure

PNW RIG Presents "Exploring the Techno-Economics of Geothermal Electricity in Washington State”

Description
The Washington Geologic Information Portal has detailed data resources, freely available, that can inform technical and economic feasibility analyses of geothermal energy projects. Dr. Lee Florea, a program manager at the WA Dept of Natural Resources has kindly offered to provide us with an unofficial overview of the portal’s content. Jonathan Pezzino, principal & owner of SWS, contributes to NREL's open source geothermal techno-economic simulator GEOPHIRES. Jonathan will demonstrate example models constructed using GEOPHIRES with data downloaded from the WA Geologic Portal. His examples will include some of the more promising geothermal resources in the state. Join in discussion with other members of the Pacific Northwest RIG as we examine these tools for modeling the techno-economic feasibility of geothermal power plants.
