The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is hosting the next GEODE Webinar on April 18 titled, “Well Modelling Applied to Geothermal Resource Evaluation.” Elkin Santafé and Yamal Askoul from Baker Hughes will discuss a general workflow that allows a preliminary evaluation of a geothermal resource using simplified well model and nodal analysis and exposing the differences with the numerical reservoir simulation techniques. Visit GEODE’s calendar of events to catch this insightful discussion.

The GEODE Consortium is excited to present a workshop coordinated by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG). The event is open to students, geoscientists, engineers, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge about geothermal energy. The two-day virtual event will take place April 29th - 30th, 2025. You’ll hear from a wide range of experts explaining the latest technological developments using real-world examples of geothermal projects. Learn how to grow and adapt your skills to succeed in this growing energy sector.

GEODE consortium is launching an initiative to develop an open-access AI-assisted database that catalogues key testing facilities, expertise, and research focus areas. Our goal is to map out the geothermal and oil & gas capabilities within National Labs to facilitate the adaptation of cutting-edge technology to geothermal environments in the near future. This is a call for action for National Labs, via an RFI process (Request for Information). Participants are requested to complete the form by 1st November.

GEODE consortium is launching an initiative to develop an open-access AI-assisted database that catalogues key testing facilities, expertise, and research focus areas across the US. Our goal is to map out the geothermal and oil & gas capabilities within research institutions to facilitate the adaptation of cutting-edge technology to geothermal environments in the near future. This is a call for action for US-based academic institutions with Geoscience & Engineering departments, via an RFI process (Request for Information). Participants are requested to complete the form by 1st November.

We aim to overcome barriers to geothermal deployment and support the expanding geothermal workforce by understanding the current skills and future needs of communities and organizations. This survey will help us understand public perceptions, needs, and interest in geothermal energy as we work to make it a cornerstone of America's energy generating capacity. Your input is vital to shaping this future.

The Geothermal Energy from Oil and Gas Demonstrated Engineering (GEODE) consortium publicly kicked off in September on a comprehensive roadmap for unlocking the full potential of the renewable heat beneath our feet. The event took place at the historic Julia Ideson Library in Houston.
More than 120 organizations came together, organized in working groups to discuss technology, data availability, demonstration projects, non-technical barriers, and workforce adoption.

The GEODE Consortium is launching its first initiative to foster local geothermal innovation ecosystems, with a focus on entrepreneurship and go-to-market strategies. In partnership with MIT Proto Ventures, MIT’s internal venture studio, GEODE aims to identify ready-to-deploy technologies and launch geothermal startups as the vehicle to bring these innovations to market.

The GEODE Consortium is pleased to announce the opening of the application process for its Fall 2024 GEODE Internship Program, which invites college students passionate about our nation’s energy future to apply for positions in geothermal startups.

The DOE-sponsored program brings together more than 100 entities from the geothermal and oil and gas sectors to build the future of cross-industry collaboration.
