Technology Transfer Workshop Between the Oil & Gas and Geothermal Industries
The Calgary Petroleum Club
Calgary, Alberta
Monday, February 23, 2015

Have you been affected by the low oil price?

Are you looking to grow your business by serving new markets? CanGEA helps organizations recognize the overlap between their current lines of business, and helps them adapt their services and technologies to access new markets within the geothermal power and heat industry by:
  • Identifying technology transfer opportunities to the geothermal energy industry supply chain
  • Analyzing your business’ potential to sell into the $100 billion worth of international geothermal projects that are currently under development
  • Gaining access to international deal flow in the following growth markets: US, Turkey, South America, East Africa, SouthEast Asia and the Caribbean. These markets are looking for Canadian services, products and talent.

With the low price of oil, there is a timely opportunity for companies to access a new market that is looking for their expertise. 


This workshop is being professionally facilitated by Marc Godin from PTAC.

Globally, developments for an estimated 18.6 gigawatts of geothermal power are currently underway in 70 countries. That’s a $100-billion investment, say data from Canadian Geothermal Energy Association. - CanGEA featured in The PEG

Registration includes a a copy of the CanGEA Report: Geothermal Technology Roadmap: Global Best Practices Summary - Exploration through Generation, an 88 page report that reviews what other leading nations and agencies have already published and thus informs our target audience of the state-of-the-art technologies in the industry and enables them to consider applications for their own products and services.

    "An excellent pre-read to prepare for the day's events."


*Purchase of the full-day workshop includes the Geothermal 101 Coffee Break and the CanGEA Policy Talk.

** Can't attend but still want the report? It's available here.

Technology has a large role to play in harnessing geothermal energy. While the industry has been established for more than a century, it remains a subsurface exploitation business – characterized by large gaps in information and significant associated risk at the early project stages, which various technologies attempt to address. Technology has been called on to respond to and push both the operating and economic boundaries forward.

The industry needs the equipment and services that originate from the oil and gas industry to make geothermal projects more competitive and to increase the known resource base, whether in Canada, or internationally. The workshop aims to provide briefings to oil and gas equipment & service providers and industry professionals about how the geothermal market can be an end user of your technology processes and expertise. The techniques used for exploration, evaluation, and production of petroleum resources are applicable for geothermal energy.



CanGEA has identified that Canadian based service companies have all the skills necessary to deliver geothermal projects globally and that there is a driving need for these services in order to reduce the exploration and reservoir risk in geothermal projects. Skills that have already been adapted for SAGD, CSS and other thermal processes. Of special note is the large contribution that drilling and completions play in a geothermal project. Approximately 25% of the overall cost is in these areas. A further 50% of the cost is for power turbines, piping and facilities.

In essence, the workshop aims to inform the oil and gas industry:
  1. that there are additional buyers for your equipment and services in another market segment
  2. about the types of technologies & services required from the exploration through the operational phase of geothermal projects

Join us for our fifth technology transfer workshop and business development forum of our Geothermal Innovation Roadmap. International participants are eligible for subsidies, and details can be found below.
We also require Subject Matter Experts in the following:
  • Exploration, Geoscience and Remote Sensing
  • Drilling & Completions
  • SAGD and Cyclic Steam Stimulation Operations
  • Power Plants and Micro-Power
  • Reservoir Management and Simulations

Please contact us at info@cangea.ca if you can provide expertise in any of the listed subjects.
Workshop Agenda:

Morning Session

  • 9:00-11:00am: Geothermal 101 Coffee Break, presented by Craig Dunn, chief geologist for Borealis GeoPower
  • 11:00am:
                         • Canadian business development presented by Alison Thompson
                       • International business development opportunities presented by Alexander Richter
                         • Overview of the Geothermal Industry's Needs and existing Best Practices; an opportunity to hear from our members
Lunch:
  • Networking Lunch with facilitated Table Topics on Technology Transfer Opportunities (See bulleted list above) - facilitated by Marc Godin (PTAC)

Afternoon Session:
  • Round Table discussion of the Oil & Gas industry's existing Best Practices that can meet the Geothermal Industry's Needs (Technology Transfer)
  • Identification of further innovation required and government funding sources
  • Q&A and next steps

CanGEA Policy Talk (3:30-5:00pm)
  • Networking Coffee Break
  • Policy Talk: CanGEA's chair, Alison Thompson, and policy advisor, Justin Crewson "How do we Move the Canadian Geothermal Industry Forward?"
Subsidy Details for International Participants:

Are you attending the Technology Transfer Workshop from outside of Canada? We can help you with some of your travel costs. Attendees must be pre-approved by CanGEA for travel to Calgary, AB. To be eligible for reimbursement, receipts must be provided to CanGEA. 

Listed below are the individual travel expense types and their additional guidelines:

  • Airfare: Up to 50% of airfare costs. Only the cost of return economy class airfare for the straight route* is eligible. Technology Transfer Workshops participants are expected to choose economy airfare and book their flight. 
  • Per Diem: Expenses for accommodation, meals and incidentals, up to a maximum of $200 CAD for each traveller for each working day while travelling to/from the Technology Transfer Workshops.
  • Ground Transportation: Up to 50% of your taxi-bus-car fees. If a traveller chooses to use bus or car to travel (straight route) to the event as an alternative to flying, the claimed expense cannot exceed what an equivalent straight route economy class airfare would be expected to cost.

* The straight route is defined as the route between the traveller’s home location and the location of the technology transfer workshop without any additional stops/legs/destinations for non technology transfer workshops related purposes (layovers or stops are acceptable when they are for the purpose of securing a more economical price).

Please contact us for more information.
