​
​1) German Geothermal Congress 2017
2) Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern

The German Geothermal Congress is a more academic and technical event, whereas Praxisforum is more a practical, industry-focused event. Both are held in Munich, Germany.

This 3-day conference is held by Bundesverband Geothermie. The first day will feature workshops, and the last 2 days will be Congress

The program can be found here. It is in German but all English events are displayed with an English title and a British flag indicating language. 

Workshops in English include:
1) GeoPLASMA-CE

2) Zentralamerika
Experts present and discuss their experiences From Germany, such as Niederenthalpie deposits economical, efficient and sustainably explored for electricity, heat and cold production, developed and managed. They make different technologies and procedures based on the experience of over 30 successful deep geothermal projects. The goal of the workshop is the transferability of the experiences from Germany The region of Central America.

Congress talks in English include: 
Near Surface Geothermics and Energy Storage (6 presentations), Deep Drilling (5 presentations), Deep Geothermal Systems (5 presentations), and Global Developments (5 presentations)
Details on the presentations can be found in the program starting Pg.14

Praxisforum is more a practical, industry-focused event. If you are looking for a more academic and technical event, check out the German Geothermal Congress 2017, also a subsidized CanGEA trip!

The first day will feature 2 field trips. The first field trip will visit the wells and the heating plant Freiham, the most recent drilled project of the Stadtwerke München. The second target will be announced soon.

The second day, Congress Day, will feature presentations from 10AM - 6PM and Praxisforum Lounge from 7PM - 10PM. Presentation details can be found here.

​Partnering with WellDunn, Fuzeium, Nonlinear Consulting, and Enerpro Engineering and funded by the Government of Alberta, CanGEA undertook a study to determine the best candidates for geothermal activity using oil and gas wells in the province of Alberta. 

CanGEA will be hosting a half-day event with our speaker Roger Milley from Fuzeium, who will present 2 interactive dashboards that pertain to the Filter Study results.  The audience will learn where to access the dashboards and how to interact with them.  The audience will also learn about the key conclusions from the study and where to go for more detailed engineering and development services.

Introduction to Downhole Instrumentation and Deployment in Geothermal Reservoirs​

As the geothermal industry begins to accelerate in Canada and internationally, it will be necessary to collect downhole reservoir conditions (temperature and pressure for example) in real time. Incorporating instrumentation into geothermal well completions can provide the necessary reservoir monitoring capabilities using field proven oilfield techniques. On the flip side, reservoir maintenance, infrastructure and well integrity and corrosion and scaling issues will need to be addressed and mitigated. Applying oilfield technology and completions to custom designed downhole chemical injection systems will greatly enhance production well integrity and can have a dramatic effect on operating costs.
