Indonesia: GRC Geothermal Workshop in Jakarta

INAGA Pre Conference Workshop - Presented by the GRC

August 8-9, 2016, Jakarta, Indonesia

Practical Strategies for Exploration Drilling and Resource Evaluation

• Dennis Kaspereit, Vice President of Resource Management Geothermal Resource Group
• Ann Robertson-Tait, Senior Geologist and Business Development Manager GeothermEx, Inc.

Join us for a 2-day workshop focusing on early drilling in greenfield project areas, including strategies for managing risks and how to obtain the best information for understanding and evaluating a geothermal resource. Real-world experiences of successes and challenges during the early drilling phase will be shared by instructors and participants.

A special two-day GRC Workshop is to be held before the 4th Indonesia International Geothermal Convention and Exhibition (IIGCE) 2016, to be held from 10-12 August 2016 at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC).
