The goals of the conference are to bring together engineers, scientists and managers involved in geothermal reservoir studies and developments; provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on the exploration, development and use of geothermal resources; and to enable prompt and open reporting of progress. We strongly encourage all scientists and engineers involved in geothermal reservoir technology to attend the workshop.

Topics

Papers will be presented on recent research relating to geothermal reservoirs including:

• Case Studies: reservoir response to production, effects of injection, scaling characteristics
• Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS): current and future activities
• Engineering Techniques: reservoir simulation, empirical methods, well tests, tracers
• Field Management: strategies for exploitation, injection, scale inhibition
• Exploration: geophysics, geochemistry, geology, heat flow studies, outflows
• Drilling and Well Bore Flows: well stimulation, bore flow modeling, hydro-fracturing, scaling
• Low Enthalpy Systems: applications of heat pumps, hot dry rock technology
• Geosciences: application of geophysics, geochemistry, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics

NEW >>> 2026 will allow for in-person and remote attendance

In 2025, we had more people than could be accommodated in the venue, so in 2026 we will modify the format of the Workshop to allow for remote participation as well as in-person. Remote attendees will be able to view all the presentations in real time, but will not be able to participate in Q&A. However, all speakers must be present in person -- we will not have remote presentations.
