USA, Minnesota:

Geothermal Experts to Speak at ARMA Workshop (Itasca Consulting Group)

Sunday June 1, 2014 from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM
Commons Hotel, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Please join us as Itasca and the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) present a one-day workshop entitled, “The Role of Geomechanics in Geothermal Reservoirs Engineering” at the 48th US Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium being held in Minneapolis. The objective of this workshop is to increase understanding within the rock mechanics community regarding issues and challenges pertinent to the engineering of geothermal reservoirs.

The workshop is designed to benefit people with backgrounds in aspects of rock mechanics theory and research but not much practical experience in the geothermal field. The workshop will also benefit those from the geothermal community who want to know more about the fundamental challenges of research and engineering, such as geomechanics challenges associated with hydrothermal, sedimentary and enhanced geothermal systems, numerical modeling and microseismicity.

The invited speakers are selected from government, university and other research and industry organizations. The audience will cover a mixed group of university professors, students, researchers and consulting engineers. We encourage you to join us for this one-day workshop to learn, exchange ideas and interact with the geothermal community. There will be interactive panel discussions as well as time reserved for lively question and answer sessions.
