Geothermal Committee Welcomes New Leaders

Congratulations to the incoming leaders of the IADC Geothermal Committee:

  • Chair: Douglas Gourlay, H&P
  • Vice Chair: Toney Deer, Well Control School/International Training Services

Special thanks to Scott Farmer, H&P, for his leadership as the Committee’s first Chair since 2023. Under his leadership, the development of the Geothermal Well Construction Guideline began to take shape. This is a major undertaking, with more than 20 contributors working on what is expected to become a foundational document for the geothermal drilling industry. Notably, Scott was one of the principal authors of the fundamental chapter, Geothermal Well Classification.

We look forward to seeing the Committee continue to flourish under Doug and Toney’s guidance!
