Transforming Geothermal Drilling Through Intelligence and Integration

Wednesday, 18 March
Grand Ballroom A
Technical Session
This session highlights innovations in geothermal well design, including automation, machine learning, and simulation. A featured case study from an EGS project showcases breakthrough performance in multi-lateral drilling, while other talks explore predictive thermal control, fracture identification, and risk-informed wellbore modeling.
Session Chairpersons
Andreas Karkossa - Helmerich & Payne
Mahmoud ElGizawy - Schlumberger Oilfield Services
