Technical Panel

Acquiring Geophysics for Geothermal: Unexpected Challenges and Surprising Solutions

Wednesday, 27 August | 3:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. | George R. Brown Convention Center, Geothermal Hub, Level 3


Geophysical data acquisition for geothermal exploration presents unique technical and logistical challenges that differ significantly from oil and gas or mining applications. This panel examines the real-world obstacles encountered when deploying seismic, electromagnetic, gravity, and other geophysical methods in geothermal environments, from high-temperature equipment failures to complex subsurface geology interpretation. The discussion will cover both greenfield exploration and brownfield development scenarios, addressing the evolving needs of the geothermal industry as it scales up globally.
