OUR GUESTS

• George Martin, LN Consulting on current geothermal projects in VT

• Steve Smith, SAS Architects on designing with geothermal solutions

• Dana Clawson, Sustainability Coordinator, Town of Hartford on why reusing heat matters 

• Juliet Walsh, Office of Senator Peter Welch on her recent trip to Iceland as part of a congressional delegation traveling to learn more about geothermal

• Plus special guests, including Brock Yordy on drilling and Bryant Jones of Geothermal Rising

We’ll find out what they’re excited about and what they think is needed to realize the potential of using the heat we already have under our feet and in our communities.  

We’ll also collect what people on the call want to know and how we can support more geothermal & thermal energy network development across our region.

Please join us on Tues, Sept 19 at noon.

Title: Investing in Opportunity: How GTO is Supporting Geothermal Everywhere

Description:

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) is working across the geothermal technology spectrum to achieve DOE’s Enhanced Geothermal Shot™ target, grow the U.S. geothermal industry, and maximize geothermal’s potential nationwide. Join GTO Acting Director Lauren Boyd to learn about GTO’s recent successes and initiatives and how they are supporting geothermal everywhere.

Tune in to learn about the perception spillover associated with hydrocarbon fracking technologies and better understand how the geothermal industry can learn from past experiences and other industries. Don't miss the next exciting entry in Geothermal Rising's Full Steam Ahead Webcast Series! Please join us on June 1st at 9:00am (Pacific) when Emily Cox and Steve Westlake will discuss their research published in Nature Energy titled “Perception spillover": impact of the fracking controversy on public perceptions of geothermal and other energy technologies. Emily and Steve will present multiple lines of evidence showing that hydrocarbon fracking negatively impacted people’s perceptions of enhanced geothermal systems and explore how this can be avoided for geothermal development.

There is no charge to participate in the webcast, but registration is required. For more information, or to sign up, please see our registration page here.

Tim Lines, of Oilfield International and Geothermal Wells Inc., will be presenting his talk "The Geothermal Business Model and the Oil & Gas Industry." One of the authors of the recent "The Future of Geothermal in Texas" report published by Project InnerSpace and the University of Texas Austin, Tim will share his insights into the role of geothermal in the transition to cleaner energy sources.

The geothermal industry uses a combination of self-flowing wells and wells that lack the permeability required for self-flow. The latter typically require a method of artificial lift in order to be produced. One of the methods used is the Electric Submersible Pump (ESP).

The ESP technology was invented more than 100 years ago and has been widely used and adapted to lift wells in the oil-and-gas industry. It offers an array of advantages such as high flowrates, deeper pump-setting depths, tolerance of well deviations, high horsepower, reduced installation time, downhole monitoring devices and reduced requirement for motor maintenance. ESP applications in geothermal wells are relatively recent, mainly due to limitations in production temperatures and long-term reliability. In recent years, ESP providers have been paying close attention to the needs of the geothermal industry, and improvements to ESPs are being implemented so that these pumps are able to operate at higher temperatures, with higher flowrates, and more reliably, while also offering a reduction in parasitic power through the use of Permanent-Magnet-Motor (PMM) technology.

Understanding the benefits of ESPs and how they are being adapted to geothermal environments is key for both ESP providers and geothermal operators. This webinar aims to offer an insight into ESP technology and its application in geothermal wells, present and future.
