Prepare the technical case for capital investment in deep geothermal extraction.
Deep Geothermal Energy Extraction and Utilisation Techniques
Practical training in deep geothermal extraction, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in deep geothermal extraction — it punishes it. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda; it has added to it. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline among the areas with the widest performance spread. It establishes a shared vocabulary for deep geothermal extraction so that teams can disagree productively about it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda hard in practice. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations under scrutiny. The difficulty is not agreeing that deep geothermal extraction matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations, in large organisations and small ones alike. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda sustainable.
