Workshops at GET2026
And broaden your horizon
Workshops at GET 2026 will offer participants practical, hands-on opportunities to deepen their knowledge, exchange expertise, and explore real-world solutions across key energy transition themes, including carbon capture and storage, geothermal energy, hydrogen and energy storage, and offshore wind.
Workshop is listed below
Workshop 1 – 2 November
Understanding and Quantifying Risk and Uncertainty in Geothermal Projects
A robust, practical, and auditable methodology for assessing geothermal risk and
uncertainty is essential for making sound business decisions, defining an appropriate level of WACC, and establishing effective risk mitigation measures. The proposed workshop builds on mature E&P risk frameworks, adapted to address the specific complexities of geothermal projects arising from geological, technical, operational, regulatory, and commercial factors. In particular, the course is grounded in the Reverse Enthalpy Methodology, as presented in the paper Risk and Uncertainty in Geothermal Projects: Characteristics, Challenges and Application of the Novel Reverse Enthalpy Methodology.
Participants will learn how to identify, structure, quantify, and manage the uncertainties that most strongly influence project viability and financial performance. The course combines core principles with hands-on tools and workflows covering the entire project lifecycle—from exploration and concept selection to drilling, testing, and field development—while emphasizing transparency and full traceability of assumptions and data sources.
Workshop 2 – 2 November
Quantification of uncertainty in offshore ground models
Quantifying uncertainty in ground models is essential because designs are often
based on limited, variable geotechnical and geophysical data within laterally and
vertically complex geology, where errors can have safety and cost consequences.
Explicitly representing uncertainty allows risk-based design, helping engineers
understand the likelihood and impact of adverse ground conditions rather than
relying on overly conservative assumptions. This leads to safer, more economical
foundations, better-informed site investigation strategies, and improved decision-
making. This workshop will focus on identifying key sources of uncertainty in offshoreground models, methods for quantifying them, and a panel session on what levels ofuncertainty are acceptable.
Workshop 3 – 2 November
DFN INSIGHTS FOR LOWCARBON RESERVOIRS
This FracMan workshop will demonstrate advanced fracture modelling workflows for deep geothermal development and CO₂ storage applications. Participants will explore how discrete fracture network (DFN) modelling supports reservoir characterisation, permeability enhancement strategies, and long‑term injectivity and containment assessment. Through hands‑on examples, the session will highlight integration of geomechanics, stimulation design, and uncertainty analysis to optimise subsurface performance. Attendees will gain practical insight into using FracMan to evaluate fracture connectivity, heat‑flow efficiency, and CO₂ migration behaviour, enabling more robust decision‑making for low‑carbon energy projects. The workshop is designed for engineers, geoscientists, and project developers across the energy transition sector.
Workshop 4 – 2 November
Satellite InSAR: Cost-Effective Monitoring and Risk Mitigation for the Energy Transition
This workshop introduces the power of Satellite Interferometry (InSAR) as a transformative tool for the Global Energy Transition.
Participants will learn how millimetric surface displacement data serves as a cost-effective early warning system for subsurface hazards in CCS, hydrogen storage, and geothermal projects.
Moving from basic principles and advanced algorithms (SqueeSAR®) to practical case studies, the session explores how to mitigate risks such as caprock failure and well integrity loss.
Furthermore, it highlights how InSAR provides essential insights into civil infrastructure integrity and regulatory compliance, effectively eliminating the HSE risks associated with traditional on-
site instrumentation.
Workshop 6 – 6 November
Surface Logging as a Key Enabler for Subsurface Understanding in Emerging Energy Systems
Surface logging technologies provide highresolution, realtime insights into subsurface conditions for geothermal development, carboncapture and storage (CCS), and natural hydrogen exploration. By integrating continuous surface acquired measurements with cloud based analytical workflows, these systems enable rapid interpretation of geological, geochemical, and drilling data.
In natural hydrogen exploration, realtime gas composition, isotopic ratios, and drilling parameters are jointly analyzed to differentiate naturally occurring hydrogen from hydrogen generated as an artifact of drilling processes, such as reactions with mud additives or thermal decomposition within downhole tools. This distinction is essential for evaluating true subsurface hydrogen occurrences
and for constraining potential migration pathways and generation mechanisms.
For geothermal wells, sensorbased cuttings characterization offers an objective and repeatable method for tracking mineralogical changes and thermally driven lithological transitions. Automated cuttings classification supports early identification of alteration minerals, fracture related debris, and temperature sensitive assemblages that are critical for understanding reservoir permeability and thermal structure.
A unified cloud interpretation environment brings together gas measurements, geological observations, and drilling data into a single workflow. This integrated approach improves situational awareness during drilling, strengthens the consistency of subsurface interpretations across disciplines, and supports faster, evidence based operational decisions for resource assessment and
well construction.
Workshop 7 – 6 November
Accelerating CCUS, LCES & Geothermal Research Infrastructures: The ECCSEL Knowledge Exchange Workshop
This workshop brings together leading research institutes, representatives from ECCSEL ERIC, and industry partners to strengthen collaboration across the full carbon capture, transport, utilisation and storage (CCUS), low-carbon energy systems (LCES), and geothermal innovation chain.
The workshop will provide a strategic overview of ECCSEL’s European research
infrastructure, highlighting the scientific and technological capabilities available across its distributed network of facilities. It aims to identify opportunities for coordinated research activities, joint use of research infrastructures, and the development of future collaborative projects.
Workshop 8 – 6 November
CO₂ Storage in Mafic and Ultramafic Rocks: From Science to Scalable Solutions
Geological storage of CO₂ in mafic and ultramafic rocks is rapidly emerging as
one of the most promising pathways for achieving durable, secure, and
highcapacity carbon removal. These rock types—rich in divalent cations such as
Mg and Ca—offer a unique opportunity for permanent CO₂ storage through mineral carbonation, turning gaseous CO₂ into stable carbonate minerals. Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in understanding reaction kinetics, reservoir characterization, scaling challenges, and field demonstration projects. Yet, major scientific and engineering gaps remain before this approach can be deployed at scale.
This daylong workshop brings together researchers, industry representatives,
technology developers, and policymakers to explore the current state of CO₂
storage in mafic and ultramafic formations and chart a path toward largescale
implementation. Participants will gain insights into laboratory investigations, field
pilots, geochemical modeling, and emerging industrial applications—from in situ
mineralization in basalt formations to ex situ ultramafic rock carbonation in
engineered systems.
Access all events, including Short Courses, Field Trips, and Workshops.
