​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.

​We are hosting a geothermal industry networking event on December 15th. This is a great opportunity to meet the CanGEA members and companies working in the geothermal industry in Canada.  

The event is free for all CanGEA corporate members.
$5 for Individual, Student and Senior Members. 
$10 for Ambassadors. 
$25 for Non-members. 

If you are able to join us for the networking event please register using the links below. Everyone must register in advance for the event as there is a security entrance to the building and attendance is monitored.  Registration is open until December 13th.

When: December 15th - 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Alberta Innovates Technology Futures (AITF) Assembly Room 3608 33St NW, Calgary, AB T2L 2A6  

CanGEA’s Chair, Alison Thompson, will deliver a speech to the standing committee highlighting what federal actions and measures would assist the development of the geothermal industry in Canada. The Standing Committee have asked three questions (below) and we believe geothermal energy is one of Canada’s best solutions to these challenges and our Chair will be passionately representing our industry on October 21st. 


Standing Committee Questions: 
1. What federal measures would help Canadians generally – and such specific groups as the unemployed, Indigenous peoples, those with a disability and seniors – maximize, in the manner of their choosing, their contributions to the country’s economic growth?

2. What federal actions would assist Canada’s businesses – in all regions and sectors – meet their expansion, innovation and prosperity goals, and thereby contribute to economic growth in the country? ​

3. What federal measures would ensure that urban, rural and remote communities throughout Canada enable residents to make their desired contribution to the country’s economic growth and businesses to expand, prosper and serve domestic and international customers in order to contribute to growth?


CanGEA Answers that our Chair will present to the Standing Committee:
1. The Canadian federal government needs to recognize the value of renewable heat, and allow geothermal facilities to be classified as heat and/or power.

2. By allowing geothermal heat economic diversification will occur in communities throughout Canada, especially remote ones.

3. Geothermal, once established domestically, will be a major export industry. Also the ability to economically grow fruits and vegetables will reduce imports without affecting quality of life.
