GEODE Series - Webinar: Annular Sealing in Geothermal Wells and Well Integrity

The GEODE consortium is a catalyst for geothermal innovation that brings together members of the geothermal and oil and gas (O&G) sectors to leverage best practices and knowledge from O&G to help expand the use of geothermal energy. As part of that mission, GEODE is creating venues and events to facilitate the dissemination of geothermal and O&G knowledge. This webinar, hosted by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), is part of a series of webinars and conversations designed for professionals and students entering the workforce who are interested in learning more about the synergies in skills and technologies between geothermal and O&G. For decades, maintaining well integrity in oil, gas, and geothermal wells has been a significant challenge. The use of conventional or enhanced cement blends in increasingly complex wells has often fallen short in achieving the desired longevity for the well’s lifespan. Incorporating alternative annular sealing technologies has emerged as a cost-effective and reliable method to enhance overall well integrity throughout the productive life of the well, facilitating a more successful abandonment process. This GEODE episode will focus on a metal expandable packer developed specifically for geothermal conditions. This technology aims to enhance geothermal well integrity and improve the well’s life expectancy, even in the most challenging environments. Speaker: Yosafat Esquitin, Senior Business Development Manager at Welltec North America Moderator: Catalin Teodoriu, Petroleum Engineering Professor at the University of Oklahoma Geothermal Energy from Oil and Gas Demonstrated Engineering (GEODE) is a consortium led by Project InnerSpace and SPE and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO).
