Program Now Available for IADC’s First Geothermal Conference!

The first IADC Geothermal Drilling Conference & Exhibition will take place 25-26 March 2025 in Vienna, Austria. The program is now available and includes keynote presentations by: 

  • Angelika Zartl-Klik – Senior Vice President Low Carbon Business and Renewable Energy & Bernhard Novotny, Project Director Geothermal, OMV
  • Bruce Gatherer – Business Development and Drilling Advisor, Iceland Drilling

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.

This event 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.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to shape a more reliable and clean future for the energy industry. Join the IADC Geothermal Drilling Conference & Exhibition to discuss the exciting developments happening in the upstream aspects of geothermal energy production and the issues to be addressed. Be a part of the transformation that the geothermal industry has the potential to bring to the entire energy sector.
