Geothermal Energy Utilization Associated with Oil & Gas Development
June 13-15, 2011
Early Registration ENDS May 20th.

the conference.
This focused two day conference brings together leaders from both business and research to discuss specific issues relevant to expanding geothermal electrical production in oil and gas fields. We are pleased to announce a half-day 'Geothermal 101' course as a pre-conference optional event. Past attendees rave about the relevancy of the material covered and the success they have had networking with future project partners.
This conference presents tools to take an existing oil field and transition it to geothermal energy production. It is a remarkable opportunity for a new stream of revenue for low yield producers or high water volumes. Learn how to take these wells and instead of abandoning them, energize them with geothermal power. This is an opportunity to think outside the box for the Energy Industry.
The SMU Geothermal Laboratory is a leader in research on the conversion of oil and gas fields into geothermal energy projects. Today we know temperatures of 200°F are capable of generating electricity . These are available across the eastern half of Texas at depths as shallow as 9,000 feet. By 12,000 feet, the 300°F necessary for Enhanced Geothermal Systems is accessible in areas. New surface power plant technologies are entering the market and pushing the thermal - efficiency envelopes.
Geothermal energy projects are currently installed or near completion in Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah, Wyoming and Alaska. This conference provides you with all the information necessary to develop geothermal energy.
