IADC Geothermal Drilling 2026 Conference and Exhibition
Energy Engineering and Geophysics conference by International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC)
About
Examine the engineering barriers to scaling geothermal energy from conventional wells to superhot rock resources. Technical presentations connect field experience with research on thermal exposure, well integrity, cutter–rock interaction, lost circulation and high-temperature tools. Case studies address reliable construction, operational safety and cost reduction; panels consider permitting, resource risk and the conditions needed for viable projects.
17–18 November: registration from 07:30 and programme from 08:30 each day, ending at 15:30 on 18 November; Europe/Copenhagen (CET, UTC+01:00). In-person fee: €775 IADC members or €975 non-members, including conference access, breaks, lunches, reception and proceedings. Payment is required before attendance. Full-time students outside industry may request discounted registration.
