Join the IADC Geothermal Drilling Conference & Exhibition to be at the forefront of the future of energy. This conference will focus on Geothermal Upstream, which includes subsurface, drilling, production, completions, regulatory environment, and associated topics. As a participant, you will gain insights into relevant business and ownership models, contracting and procurement strategies, and supply chains.

The conference will showcase groundbreaking technologies with the potential to revolutionize the geothermal industry and the entire energy sector. IADC’s expertise in providing definitions and guidelines for the Petroleum Upstream ideally positions it to establish a vocabulary, terms, and standards within the geothermal industry.

Geothermal energy regulatory regimes are inconsistent, and immature compared to those of the oil and gas industry, which creates obstacles and extends the lead time for geothermal projects. The conference will analyze differences in regulatory regimes and provide valuable insights for businesses and regulators.

  • LOCATION: Vienna, Austria
  • VENUE: Hilton Vienna Park
